Body Navigation by Recoil Performance Group from ole kristensen on Vimeo.

From Recoil Performance Group:

Two dancers and their digital reproduction are the scenographic frame of this humorous and emotional portrait of human relations. Based on rules and structured in a game like manner, the installation makes way for a playful dialog between the man, woman and the digital "footprints" they leave behind.

You can learn about the technical design for this interactive performance environment on the website for video designer Ole Kristensen.

Interactive Performance Installation at 2008 Glastonbury Festival

An interactive dance installation that responds to the movements of audience-participants. The "Interactive Pi" installation was set-up at the 2008 Glastonbury Festival.

Glastonbury 2008 - Pi Interactive Installation from Michael Tamman on Vimeo.

From the Vimeo description:

Standing inside the Pi people were tracked by cameras and saw a silhouette of themselves on the walls of the space. As they moved photons, plasmas and other particles radiated from them and were sent flying around the space. Their movement also controlled sound as one of a series of instruments. Scratching a beat, playing a bass or strumming strings made the audience not only the filling but also the players, conductors and composers of their own collective Pi.
