Mapping technology beautifully captures a dancers movements

‘Asphyxia’ is a project that maps human movement via motion capture technology. Artists Maria Takeuchi and Frederico Phillips track the body using inexpensive Xbox One Kinect sensors to create thousands of points. The result of their mapping of dancer Shiho Tanaka, seen in the video below, is beautiful and describes both space and form.

According to the artists: “The project is an effort to explore new ways to use and/or combine technologies and different fields in an experiment without many of the common commercial limitations. The performance is centered in an eloquent choreography that stresses the desire to be expressive without bounds.

Motion data was captured using inexpensive sensors and that data paved the way through an extensive number of steps. Once all the scanned point cloud data was combined, that was then used as the base for the creative development on the piece. A series of iterative studies on styles followed and several techniques and dynamic simulations were then applied using a number 3D tools for various results.”
