It's Never Me is a movement-based investigation that seeks new ways of processing information to lessen the burden of our existence. It harnesses the power of collective thinking by outsourcing sentiment and engaging the public to understand the emotional state of the subject. The investigation culminates in the creation of a fully autonomous virtual dancer, Notame.
The work is exhibited in three parts:
Book of Movement - a video sculpture showcasing Notame's movement foundation and the basis of her thinking mind.
Who leads? - an interactive video MoCap-enabled installation that allows anyone to dance in a duet with Notame.
Metamorphosis - a real-time motion capture performance with Notame, exploring the themes of escapism, existence in a blended physical/digital space, hopelessness and the search for liberation.
Huge thank you to Shamar Watt and Cheri Hassami who took part in the project.
