Description
‘Mesmerising and enthralling, Encoded is a powerful and hypnotic, at times almost trance like work that combines fabulous contemporary dance, aerial acrobatics and the latest in computer images and technology.’

About the programme
Encoded is a visually stunning work that creates a ravishing immersive world of shimmering images that dissolve and reform as the performers sweep across the space. It is an aerial dance performance that uses the latest interactive technologies to build a projected digital environment that responds to the movements of the performers.
Encoded is a meditation on the fragility of space and our place within it. It explores how digitised space alters our perceptions of physical space, and how digital media change our relationship to the body.
Encoded utilises interactive 3D image and audio technologies to dynamically revision public spaces in real time through synthesising live performance, immersive interactive image projection and audio-scapes. By utilising simulated fluid animations (of particles and architecture) as a mediating layer between performers’ physical gestures and the images and sounds they generate, we blur the boundaries between physical and digital space.
