Created by Berlin-based interdisciplinary performance collective StratoFyzika, in collaboration with local artists Daria Kaufman and Ian Heisters, Human/ID is inspired by the personal, political, and social implications of synthetic media, specifically Deepfake, which uses AI to manipulate media and create alternate “truths.” Human/ID dives into the uncanny valleys that form at the edges of new human mapping technologies, where human beings are rendered and translated through code. What is lost or gained in these liminal, digital spaces? What strange new perspectives do they offer of self, body, and other?

While read aloud (by various people with different language backgrounds and accents) and concentrating on psycholinguistics, intonation and the melody of language, the sound translates another layer of interpretation by converting the recordings through pitch, rhythm, dynamics. Listening and looking at the sonic element of the poem and its graphical shape, with attempt to capture where attention lives in pointed directions of the mind. From here, the movement is directed by its manifestation into a map, transposed onto the physical space. The movement itself an interpretation of mood and physical expression of tone, meaning and the abstract dialogue between words and the corporeal. The lighting represents fluidity, form, rhythm and the repetition of the poetry. It dances with or against the body, adding another layer of interpretation: casting images and meaning through changes in intensity and angles. It creates directional pathways which cross or follow physical movement, counterpointed by quadraphonic spatial distribution of the sound. The score created for the lighting system is based on text mining and analysis work done on the poem keeping its architecture of empty spaces intact. <img width="4256" height="2832" width_o="4256" height_o="2832" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/476f9a98e50ef400995293809930c3ff53466fafd466f8cf4d66c3747fee7fda/FSCe7236.jpg" data-mid="15730664" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/476f9a98e50ef400995293809930c3ff53466fafd466f8cf4d66c3747fee7fda/FSCe7236.jpg" /><img width="2048" height="1363" width_o="2048" height_o="1363" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/136bcdc8c5d8f762e1dd70bdc2639eb90869c6fec584e2fe2468d766055cb64d/31729939_1088467334655697_8119469621062402048_o.jpg" data-mid="16974306" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/136bcdc8c5d8f762e1dd70bdc2639eb90869c6fec584e2fe2468d766055cb64d/31729939_1088467334655697_8119469621062402048_o.jpg" /><img width="1848" height="1230" width_o="1848" height_o="1230" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/44258dfbb81ab654bb841db33352ef2708db4f74644fea8313b6c461406967da/31855338_1088457164656714_5531376861692559360_o.jpg" data-mid="16974307" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/44258dfbb81ab654bb841db33352ef2708db4f74644fea8313b6c461406967da/31855338_1088457164656714_5531376861692559360_o.jpg" /> ↑ Pics by Dieter Hartwig <img width="1200" height="1800" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/b073b76d6fe9daec9a751f9dde92a733c1397afbac521ae6c134efb16e5066a8/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0942.jpg" data-mid="15730363" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/b073b76d6fe9daec9a751f9dde92a733c1397afbac521ae6c134efb16e5066a8/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0942.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1800" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7734dd978669635a34fceaffdca1cec0b59c809e1bee21696346d1d6e5b49934/DJL_18Stratofyzika_1016.jpg" data-mid="15730364" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7734dd978669635a34fceaffdca1cec0b59c809e1bee21696346d1d6e5b49934/DJL_18Stratofyzika_1016.jpg" /> <img width="1200" height="1800" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/570d33f373c508474466701e930b430f6bbfed7a86183ceb52a07b8bd672066e/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0848.jpg" data-mid="15730362" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/570d33f373c508474466701e930b430f6bbfed7a86183ceb52a07b8bd672066e/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0848.jpg" /><img width="1200" height="1800" width_o="1200" height_o="1800" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/969e1c83c1186e08274ebf587847cabb83db66d593b17ce6ccd8adcf6ddff344/DJL_18Stratofyzika_1057.jpg" data-mid="15730365" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/969e1c83c1186e08274ebf587847cabb83db66d593b17ce6ccd8adcf6ddff344/DJL_18Stratofyzika_1057.jpg" /> <img width="1800" height="1200" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/7df01eb41ccfb7a2ea7f33f78fb98961f091a9fd2a1d351c2d86ce5363fc6945/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0288.jpg" data-mid="15730358" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/7df01eb41ccfb7a2ea7f33f78fb98961f091a9fd2a1d351c2d86ce5363fc6945/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0288.jpg" /> <img width="1800" height="1200" width_o="1800" height_o="1200" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/bc088bb769e586a910ce71bbe5214239378d5e0e38dd2088e69c6ce5c0251be6/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0174.jpg" data-mid="15730357" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/bc088bb769e586a910ce71bbe5214239378d5e0e38dd2088e69c6ce5c0251be6/DJL_18Stratofyzika_0174.jpg" /> ↑Pics by Dario-Jacopo Laganà www.norte.it https://stratofyzika.com/Phi Sun, 12 Nov 2017 08:39:06 +0000 StratoFyzika https://stratofyzika.com/Phi Phi performance 2016 — 2017 Created by Lisbon/Berlin-based interdisciplinary performance collective StratoFyzika, Phi is an interactive, audiovisual dance performance based on looping patterns and their incremental alteration of perception.

In one section, as the dancers travel down a narrow, diagonal beam of light and continually flip from their stomachs to their backs, the light flips with them – with each rotation, two opposing beamers switch on and off, causing the dancers' shadows and illuminated areas to continually shift. The effect is kinetic and paradoxical, as if simultaneously experiencing two different perspectives of the same moment. Two dancers - Hen Lovely Bird and Daria Kaufman – created and perform the choreography. In their process, they focused on composing clear, sharp, isolated movements with a distinct rhythm or timing, and then juxtaposing these phrases into a kind of clock, where each of performer acts individually, constantly shifting in and out of unison. This compositional structure, known as phasing, is woven throughout the piece's movement, lighting, and sound design, and it creates the effect of constant oscillation between synchrony and dissonance, harmony and chaos. The choreography also explores ways in which small, isolated movements can recontextualize the body. For instance, at one point, the performers sit with their legs spread wide on the floor and just slightly bend and straighten their knees while the torso, in darkness, slants forward and remains totally still. With each tiny bend of the knee, a low positioned floor light peaks through, giving the impression that the legs are moving creatures independent from their torsoes, or perhaps talking limbs in conversation with the light. Audio composer Lenka Kočišová has designed a sound pool using four speakers/channels positioned in different corners of the audience. As viewers sit, they experience the sound travelling through space, creating overlapping atmospheres of electronic rhythms and tones. In this sense, the architecture of the room becomes a felt, sonic experience.All of these elements combine to make Phi a striking, thought-provoking, visceral performance which challenges and re-defines the viewer's perception of body, space, and sound.

While dwelling on the threshold, we are able to trascend the expectations and schemes of our woken mind: visions on the edge of sleep, whispy light shadows, multi-dimensional geometric objects, sudden sound as if from the halls of a mind in a dream state. This liminal zone is a state referred to as Hypnogogia. The hypnagogic state is a place of crossover moments, a kaleidoscopic realm of multi-consciousness. In THÆTA, this borderland becomes the stage. A living system unfolds: movement, sound, and light intertwine through interactive technologies—sensor-driven responses, spatial audio, generative visuals. Each element breathes in relation to the others, forming an ephemeral constellation that shifts from moment to moment. The body becomes interface, sensation becomes structure, and the subconscious rises to the surface—briefly, vividly—before dissolving again into shadow. - Hen Lovely Bird / creative direction, movement writer Alessandra Leone / creative direction, stage visuals artistDavic Nod / sound projectThomas Van Ta / creative codeGiovanni-Marco Zaccaria / wearable sensors design &amp; developmentJeanette Bruneau Rossow / costume designJuan Cristobal Ribes / sound mastering / www.balanceaudiomastering.comXperimental Sound Lab / audio contributors / www.thalamuslab.com/xsl/ <img width="960" height="641" width_o="960" height_o="641" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/1a7980112fcb4665c03cc490763723423b9153dfd395f546642a5a37653b72fa/10653815_401470600022044_2886050033789190329_n.jpg" data-mid="6558654" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/1a7980112fcb4665c03cc490763723423b9153dfd395f546642a5a37653b72fa/10653815_401470600022044_2886050033789190329_n.jpg" /> Visual StratumThe stage is designed by the visuals around and together with the performer, investigating the liminal zone through the use of live sketch techniques as well as morphing shapes modeling, audio-driven geometric patterns and pre-shot shadows characters appearences. The projections narrative takes the shape of a path, sinking into the black subconscious world, giving birth to a night creature, shaping its visions and then re-emerging to face the sharp cold touch of the light beam.Over the whole performance experience, specific interactivity is being used to let gestures drive specific visual impressions. The interactive part of the visuals shows a complex system, where the interaction of a large number of individuals creates a new entity with a different behavior than just the addition of the single ones. This emergent behavior is modeled following the classic flocking rules written by Craig Reynolds in 1986 (separation, alignment and cohesion). To those we added a few more like a bounding area, a noise field or a perlin random walker. Interactive StratumThe aim of introducing interactivity in our work is to engage a live performative environment where the movement is able to affect the sound and the image as well as with those elements. To accomplish this task in a meaningful way, something beyond a 1 to 1 connection between sensors and effects parameters should be achieved. Data is not information until it is analyzed and transformed. In this direction, different pattern and gesture recognition algorithms are applied to the values coming from the sensors in order to extract the key steps out of the choreography. This technique allows the performer to establish a set of movements to create a new language within the scope of a particular performance.Sensing StratumBody-mounted sensors: three-axial accelerometers and a gyroscope, are being used as the primary sensing mechanism for quantification of temporal variations in motion and gesture. THÆTA uses a specifically designed prototype of wearable electronic devices whose main module is based on Arduino Fio, and an x-bee module for wireless communication. Movement StratumThe dancer’s torgue, bend, twisting and qualities of movement is the consequence of the mind directing the body’s reactions on/into the audiovisual environment. In THÆTA, the movement is focused on the embodiment of a character which is in contact with light and dark shadows, traveling through the hypnogogic state via an (imagined) Theta wave state. The choreography on it’s own is a movement map written through common brainstorm and then broken down into sections either with specific set choreography and/or an improvised score sometimes employing the Atavistic Technique.Sound StratumThe soundtrack for THÆTA is composed of abstract atmospheres and drones which at a certain point morph into rhythmic patterns and lead the piece to its most intense conclusion. The sound synthesis process is connected to the sensors' signals and the overall quantity of movement is mapped to the occurrence of sound, which shapes refinements with movement data’s details. The sonification of images and movements aims to hypnotize the audience with various tricks, from noise cacophonies to otoacustic emissions - a physiological reaction to a couple of pure tones that makes the ear hair cells resonate and produce a tone.The main sound sources have been selected from the archives of the Xperimental Sound Lab, a free sound collection curated and maintained on the Internet by Thalamus Lab. The project launched an open call and many artists from different countries contributed to create a collaborative library.

II aiKia II was conceptually inspired by the process of individuation, described by Carl Gustav Jung’s analytical psychology.Conceptually, this most recent incarnation is based on a deeper analysis which focuses on the “shadow aspects” of our egos; parts of our personality which remain unconscious, which we are not aware of, with our tendency to reject or ignore these negative aspects. There are necessary steps to uncovering dark shadows by paying attention to processes of negative aspects of our minds mirrored by other people. This is called projection. Once we see clearly, like in a mirror that life sets in front of us, why certain things are making us angry, disturbing us or stirring our emotions, we need to understand it and embrace it as equal parts of our individualities. This new approach allows us to comprehend a positive side of denying those “wrong” parts, taking new perspectives, for example that we could achieve certain goals due to our fight against them. There is also a “white” shadow as positive aspect we admire. It might inspire us to behave like our idols, therefore if we accept this positive shadow, we might achieve similar aims as of our heros.The goal is to find our true self in repeating self-actualization; we face the history of ourselves in a continuous link to our unconscious past which repeats, ultimately setting a pattern which creates our future. For this performance art piece we design an environment where the stage performers are not bound to static expressions of sound and visuals. We are working with behavior-based approaches in reaction with interactive software settings for sound and visuals. These approaches and technologies affect the environment; adjusting the situations of appearance of shadows, their recognition as mirror effect and projections, their acceptance in the complex of the personality, change of the position of ego towards those elements. We want to achieve an emotional and physical sensation for the audience where the sound and visuals are in interaction with the dancer embodying the space we will create. This will be done with original visual and audio content, software and hardware interaction. This dynamic interactivity engages both the stage performers and audience to a deeper level of interest and identification.Another possible interpretation Shadows of aiKia is research and examination of the relationship in between body and its biological existence and system of elements, light and sound, both vibrations in the space existing in due to time line. What is the relationship between human consciousness, space where it’s placed and its perception of time. We reproduce a metaphorical creation of the relativity of those dimensions, according to theory of special relativity, testing the limits of speed and trying to win over the equation defining energy and mass.The visual and audio elements will be connected with the dancer’s heart beats, body heat and sweat, which will be the consequences of mind and body reactions onto the audiovisual environment. The dance and movement will focus on duality and the juxtaposition of one’s ego of light and/or dark shadow in the space defined by and in relationship to the visuals and sound.The space and time, light and sound will become other shadows of the person in the labyrinth of its existence. <img width="900" height="600" width_o="900" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9602b88cbb32625e80dec1964142bf7c647b68b0cd4bf1bbf0fc77b16fdacb37/941423_171795182989588_1706296340_n.jpg" data-mid="6560125" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/9602b88cbb32625e80dec1964142bf7c647b68b0cd4bf1bbf0fc77b16fdacb37/941423_171795182989588_1706296340_n.jpg" /> <img width="900" height="600" width_o="900" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/50c7584211697cfcaee2438f2e498d3cf39adb8156174691edfeabd1c8fc7d3e/944177_171795222989584_1729530823_n.jpg" data-mid="6560124" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/50c7584211697cfcaee2438f2e498d3cf39adb8156174691edfeabd1c8fc7d3e/944177_171795222989584_1729530823_n.jpg" /><img width="900" height="600" width_o="900" height_o="600" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/15ae2b9ef018570783de604b88ced4106a9fe197c787b408e4f3d8deb9291e73/947128_171793659656407_673170997_n.jpg" data-mid="6560122" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/900/i/15ae2b9ef018570783de604b88ced4106a9fe197c787b408e4f3d8deb9291e73/947128_171793659656407_673170997_n.jpg" /> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ↑Pics by Dario-Jacopo Laganà www.norte.it https://stratofyzika.com/II-aikia-II Sun, 12 Nov 2017 10:02:48 +0000 StratoFyzika https://stratofyzika.com/II-aikia-II II aikia II2012&nbsp; performance Robert Van Den Dolder and Henlovelybird / body movementsAkkamiau /&nbsp;audio content&nbsp;Aikia / motion graphics and visual content Dale Phurrough / interaction and softwareClaudia Vitali / costumes Fusion and interaction of distinct universes (dance, music, video, interactive and multimedia works). II AiKiA II is an interactive projection-mapping project that adds a digital dimension to the real world/space of dancing body movements, combining light projection, choreography, sound and camera tracking.“The unity of nearness and remoteness involved in every human relation is organized, in the phenomenon of the stranger, in a way which may be most briefly formulated by saying that in the relationship to him, distance means that he, who is close by, is far, and strangeness means that he, who also is far, is actually near. For, to be a stranger is naturally a very positive relation; it is a specific form of interaction.”The Stranger, Georg Simmel (1858 – 1918)"II AIKIA II" is a hybrid live performance and artwork, where body, dance, image and sound live together as part of a polymorphic global work which declines its units almost infinitely. The stage setting is a 7,40mt x 5mt rectangle on the floor, which will receive a vertical video projection, as well as light design and choreography. The immediate back wall of the space will also be used by dancers. <img width="960" height="640" width_o="960" height_o="640" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/a3c67ae231d534079fe4d427455dfaa6881476084796376c68262423984e7338/64187_148194548682985_659152441_n.jpg" data-mid="6560612" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/a3c67ae231d534079fe4d427455dfaa6881476084796376c68262423984e7338/64187_148194548682985_659152441_n.jpg" /> <img width="960" height="640" width_o="960" height_o="640" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/788fc2e65f171bf158b0f177017e0ffc414fdca40bd0cb8e34d2bff6e36f75b2/582458_144121409090299_2145214288_n.jpg" data-mid="6560613" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/960/i/788fc2e65f171bf158b0f177017e0ffc414fdca40bd0cb8e34d2bff6e36f75b2/582458_144121409090299_2145214288_n.jpg" /><img width="1925" height="1283" width_o="1925" height_o="1283" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5c71d29fd0b663dfb638517bd00c5fb760f9225d2dda1ecf9a30dab49eef0401/web6_o.jpg" data-mid="6560610" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5c71d29fd0b663dfb638517bd00c5fb760f9225d2dda1ecf9a30dab49eef0401/web6_o.jpg" /><img width="2000" height="1333" width_o="2000" height_o="1333" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/9f36ccb53d83ea5dacf36666cce9116dba6aaa131485d5f7000a1585df3a12cc/web_o.jpg" data-mid="6560611" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/9f36ccb53d83ea5dacf36666cce9116dba6aaa131485d5f7000a1585df3a12cc/web_o.jpg" /> https://stratofyzika.com/Study-on-Biosignal-driven-Choreography Sun, 12 Nov 2017 17:36:06 +0000 StratoFyzika https://stratofyzika.com/Study-on-Biosignal-driven-Choreography Study on Biosignal-driven Choreographya choreography in 7 episodes deconstructed and reconstructed through micro movements, brain waves and breath 2014&nbsp; labNotes from the CCL lab ( Choreographing Coding Lab ) we attended in September 2014, organized by http://motionbank.org .

It's the story of our personal escapes, spoken through sounds of a MicroKorg synthesizer, black/white pixels forming shapes and live landscapes with the choreographed body in a pàs de deux with the video.Everything begins all over again in white wash, when we are born from waters. It's the last full silence, before we scream loudly into this world. We get caught into stereotypes and loops. Tension from being trapped brings breakdown and it crashes down with destructed bass, we sink to the bottom.From the ground rises new hope, a call for better feelings, a vision of how changing tones of the space may affect inner parts of our neural system. But, this is fake love. Illusion doubles and folds over the next one and we try to fit in by being invisible.Nothing lasts, just us frozen in the middle of the fire. Reality lost, illusion lost.The video animation was a performer itself. Its character followed the narration, and in a synaesthetic way, interpreted the sound in the form of coloured visual impressions evoked by hearing. This created a space of black and white contrasts for the dancer to improvise, react and travel as well as to pulse alongside the dancer in a sometimes duet and further as a trio with sound.The trio acted in collaboration and as separate entities. Initial brainstorming process generated qualities of sound, animation and movement. Then working in each section to come back together as a cohesive whole for performance.
