Tech Research

The point of departure for our technology research is the idea of digital technology as embodied thought, and, as such, an integrated part of us. In our choreographic work we use technologies that enable a different experience of movement than would otherwise be possible. At the core of this are movement sensors that give performers the possibility to control and influence sound and light in real time. We write the software for this in SuperCollider, an Open Source programming language specifically optimized for algorithmic music and live interaction; openFrameworks, a C++ framework optimized for live visuals, and Common Lisp, an ancient and beautiful language full of parentheses and elegant constructs.

On this page we will post a series of tutorials about the usage of the MiniBee sensor kit and SuperCollider, as well as tips, tricks, notes about the different tools we use to create sound and visuals for dance performances.

The code from our recent pieces can be found on GitLab and Codeberg.
