Digital interpreter Quayola and visual artist Memo Akten teamed up with Nexus Interactive Arts to produce an interactive animation and installation for the Cultural Olympiad at the National Media Museum in Bradford […]
The work is called Forms and is part of the In the Blink of an Eye: Media and Movement exhibition at the National Media Museum, which runs from March 9th to September 2nd 2012 and explores the “capture and synthesis of movement.” Quayola and Akten interpreted this theme by taking images and artifacts from the museum’s National Collections—-this includes the work of motion capture pioneers like Dr. Harold E. Edgerton, Roger Fenton, Tim Macmillan, Etienne-Jules Marey and Eadweard Muybridge—and generating abstract animations from the athletes’ motion using 3D Studio Max and custom software. The resulting animations are a study of the relationship between the human body and movement at the extreme end of physical exertion, creating an aesthetic of the mechanics behind these movements.
