RADICAL BODIES

VR dance installation event at YCAM

Takram was a collaborator on the installation "RADICAL BODIES: Dance Dance in VR."

In this installation, visitors experience first-hand the results of "Perception Engineering", a research and development project by YCAM (Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media) and Sony CSL. The project focused on how computers can bring about changes in human perception, sensation and movement.

During the Radical Bodies installation visitors wear head-mounted displays, and trace their own abstracted bodies in a virtual environment. Through this action they start moving, and thereby become creators of a new kind of dance.

Takram helped to develop the software for the installation.
