Written And Conceived by Steve Gibson.
Programmed by Jonathan Griffiths & Steve Gibson.
Performed by Steve Gibson, Bert Deivert, & Jonathan Griffiths.
Based On An Original Idea by Steve Gibson & Rafael Lozano-Hemmer.
TELEBODY is conceived as a large-scale piece for two music and video "performers." Using digital music instruments, the players have real-time control over an audio environment and images of two entire bodies.
The central theme of TELEBODY revolves around man-machine relations, and more specifically the man-machine interface and the human body. Digital image capturing, 3D scanning, and effects processing of the human figure provide a metaphorical description of a potential digital human. In TELEBODY the performers act as metaphorical bio-geneticists, perfectly controlling and manipulating images of the human body.
TELEBODY IS the altered human figure in the digital world.
