Entropy: Color Videodance Music Technology

"Entropy" portraits a dream state. It investigates the expressive potential of displaced center of gravity of the human body and explores its aesthetic potential in a setting where dance and kinetic drawings take place. Drawings were created in real-time as a response to the dancer's movements that were inspired by the idea of height, distance, falling, flying, swimming, floating, openness/enclosure, freedom/restrain, enjoyment/discomfort, awareness/unconsciousness, order/chaos. All colors are in RGB. The drawing software was coded with the Processing language a derivative of JAVA.

A film by Petronio Bendito and Carol Cunningham-Sigman
Music by Didier Guigue

Filmed and edited at the Patti and Rusty Rueff School of Visual and Performing Arts, College of Liberal Arts, Purdue University.
