Igloo bring together a group of international artists for a performance
unraveling the strange nature of dual identity. Dropping sequences of dance,
film, digital art and sound into the same performance environment, they
explore the body as digital image.
Viking Shoppers unfolds as an intruiging mix of new media work. Both the
design and choreography are inspired by the physical and cultural landscapes
of Iceland, and the dual identity present in telematic peformance and motion
capture.
Live dancers explore relationships with their virtual, digital, and
spiritual selves through the use of interactive movement sequences and
real-time ascii cameras.
Viking Shoppers features the celebrated music of Icelandic band Sigur RŪs.
Artists: Leon Cullinane, Ruth Gibson, Bruno Martelli, Kirk Woolford
