new performance ecosystems

The highlight of the conference for me was the talk given by video artist/choreographer/theorist Susan Kozel. She discussed her projects Trajets (which involves video projected on screens that are choreographed to respond to participants walking on a sensored floor), Whisper, and Between Bodies (which involve "wearables" that monitor participants' heartbeats, breath rates, and muscle contraction and transmit them through video or garments to other participants), among others.
