What makes us move on a dance floor? Is it the lighting, the people, the music, or our state of mind? Through capturing movement, this interactive audio installation explores how to make participants lose themselves and dance.
Description
What makes us move on a dance floor? Is it the lighting, the people, the music, or our state of mind? How can people be encouraged to dance expressively, without worry?
“Let’s Dance” explores how to create an interactive installation that encourages participants to dance, connecting with music and each other. By entering a dance floor with a vive tracker on their wrist, each user can control qualities of one part of a song. The track becomes fully realized as participants “perform” the music with their movements, collectively creating their environment.
The system is meant to be adapted to a broader experience where users are connected to the lore of nightlife, heightening their senses to create a moment of self-exploration.
