Rainforest Awakens is a real-time interactive performance. In it, three artists come together “live and online” to explore beauty and crisis in a visionary 3D Rainforest.
Maida Withers, noted dance artist, performs in iridescent 3D virtual worlds of Tania Fraga, a Brazilian computer artist, in a sonic forest of sound by Steve Hilmy.
The Corona Virus pandemic is seizing artists in their homes, demanding other forms of expression and communication using computers. Therefore, the artists conceived this performance looking for ways to deal with such a situation. Maida’s living room transformed into a choreographic space receives Tania’s virtual worlds manipulated online, in real-time, from Sao Paulo while Maida dances in Arlington, VA in front of a large white wall where she responds, also in real-time, to the virtual images in DC with live music by Steve Hilmy from Florida.
Rainforest Awakens é uma performance interativa em tempo real. Nela, três artistas se reunem “ao vivo e online” para explorar a beleza e a crise em uma floresta tropical 3D visionária. Maida Withers, notável coreógrafa e dançarina, se apresenta nos mundos virtuais 3D iridescentes de Tania Fraga, uma artista computacional brasileira, em uma floresta sônica de Steve Hilmy.
A pandemia do vírus Corona19 está prendendo os artistas em suas casas, exigindo outras formas de expressão e comunicação por meio do computador. Portanto, os artistas idealizaram esta performance buscando formas de lidar com tal situação. A sala de Maida, transformada em espaço coreográfico, recebe os mundos virtuais de Tania manipulados online, em tempo real, de São Paulo, enquanto Maida dança em Arlington, VA em frente a uma parede branca onde responde, também em tempo real, as imagens virtuais com a música ao vivo de Steve Hilmy da Flórida.
