SOON PERFORMANCE  Chunky Move/Gideon Obarzanek (Australia)  GLOW  Thursday & Friday December 3 & 4, 7 & 9 PM $15 / $10 / $5 Conceived as a "biotech fiction" by Australian choreographer Gideon Obarzanek and interactive software creator Frieder Weiss, Glow transforms a solo dancer into a mutant figure both sensual and grotesque. As she slides and thrashes across a white floor, her form generates a constantly shifting digital habitat of projected light. Her smallest gestures are captured by an overhead tracking system, while interactive video technology creates motion graphics that shift in real time in response to her movement. » More Information     TALK  Frieder Weiss: From Technological Research to Sensual Engineering  Wednesday December 2, 7 PM  Free + Open to the Public  As the interactive system designer for GLOW, Frieder Weiss is one of the foremost experts in realtime computing and computer systems in performance art. » More Information     WORKSHOP  Frieder Weiss: Perceivable Bodies Workshop  Saturday December 5, 9:30 AM  Free + Open to the Public  Frieder Weiss, creator of the media environment in Chunky Move's GLOW, will give a hands-on workshop on video motion sensing technologies and his interactive software for performance.
