‘Rail9’—Dystopia987 @MIF2019
Manchester International Festival, presented by Skepta.
“Dystopia987 was driven by the realisation of a character through stages of emergence and interaction over the course of the evening. Rail9 was this character's first steps in understanding its physical surroundings. The character 'Dambrin' christened after Didier 'GOL' Dambrin, reached out into the space, defining its form, sampling movement and heat.
The visual processing and output was driven by the positional relationship of the scanner to it's environment. The scanner swept up and down the length of the tunnel.“
