tactim
The choreographic interactive installation TACTIM consists of a live size digital picture of a dancer that can be animated by visitors/audience touching a screen. It seems that both visitors and video dancer influence each other’s movement, which creates an intimate dialogue between them.
“What kind of intimacy is it if I only exist when you touch me, look at me and when my body has become an object? Visitors/audience who are touching the screen, what is your role in this game? Without you, I don’t exist, so who are you? And who/what am I?”
By its interactive aspect, TACTIM explores the relationship between dance and visitors/audience. This is an experiment that allows an other kind of space and time for choreographic work. Its purpose is to recompose a choreography with the screen touch and by doing so recomposes a human identity.
