Beyond Cage and Cunningham - Hard Wired

Denise Mireau, owner and director of the Studio for Movement, performs a dance using Wearable Technology. The concept for this piece is based on chance operations used by the composer John Cage and the choreographer Merce Cunningham. The technology embedded in the costume consists of an accelerometer and a Lilypad Arduino. The data retrieved from the accelerometer is sent to Processing where the data triggers sound files. Although the dancer's movement, triggers sound, she has no control over what sounds will play.
