Happy Birthday to body>data>space!
This month we celebrate 9 years of body>data>space and 25 years since
the start of shinkansen, the original collective
On this occasion we share with you the work of these collectives of
international creative digital pioneers – artists, technical creatives
and producers that have been ‘placing the body at the centre of digital
interaction’ since the early 1990s
Throughout the years the collectives have focused on an
interdisciplinary and collaboration methodology, enabling connectivity,
inter-authorship, virtual/physical interaction, international
co-productions, creative industries evolutions and social media
integration. Specific outputs on full body telepresence, remote space
connections, motion capture, virtual worlds, immersion experiences,
wearable technologies, sense and gesture tech, avatar interaction,
robotics and gaming have been produced and distributed worldwide since 1991
9 years since we started body>data>space in March 2005, a creative
industries design unit emerging from shinkansen and creating innovative
connections between performance, architecture, virtual worlds and new
media. Expert outputs recently include the convergence of full body
telepresence and motion capture within virtual worlds
25 years since the original collective shinkansen set up in March 1989
as a “sound and movement research unit exploring the new digital age”.
shinkansen developed a unique niche within the British and International
arts scene through facilitating connectivity between dance, performance,
music, video and digital technologies (1989-2004, archived in British
Library)
