Motion Activated, is the result of a three-year collaboration between dancer Veronique MacKenzie, sound technician and composer Lukas Pearse, and visual artist Susan Tooke, that attempts to fuse the three disciplines with technology to create an interactive experience for the audience.
Motion Activated is “Innovative and fun” (Chronicle Herald)“Your mere presence changes the nature of the exhibit” (Halifax Weekend Herald)
“A one-of-a-kind interactive experience that pushes technological boundaries (The Coast)
Motion Activated is an interactive electro-acoustic installation and performance project, which speaks to relationships between the body, space and time. Created by established Nova Scotia artists, dancer Véronique Mackenzie, visual artist/animator Susan Tooke and audio-visual artist Lukas Pearse, this sensory excursion explores the intricacies of trained movement, the creation and execution of line, and the phenomenon of muscle memory.
The installation fuses two-dimensional images with three-dimensional movement so that a thread is established between live and captured motion. Interactive elements respond to the movement of the viewer’s own body, resulting in a delightful response by mere physical attendance and inadvertent engagement.
Sound plays an integral part of Motion Activated where Pearse uses MacKenzie’s movements and gestures to create a stochastic soundtrack for the piece. In two special live performances, Pearse’s design in audio- and time-based media interact with MacKenzie’s dance composition to create an interactive acoustic dialogue called “Data Duet”.
Motion Activated: an interactive installation; created by Pearse, MacKenzie and Tooke, curated by Robin Metcalfe, was presented at St Mary’s University Art Gallery, Halifax NS, July 2013, in a different form.
