Abstract

Nerve Engine is a repeating ten-minute media arts experience which offers participants the opportunity to generate elements of the performance through movement and proximity to electronic sensors and scenographic design elements. As a media arts installation it transforms the interior of the venue into participatory zones where sculptural translucent cylinders envelope the audience and become data and light projection surfaces. The participant is at the centre of an improvised collaboration within a projected virtual environment alluding to landscape and cosmology.

The prototype for the project has been the development of a system or ‘engine’ of electronic and human parts that can respond to moments and movement, emphasizing the ephemeral nature of ‘liveness’ in performance and temporal media. The performance engine is able to engage the audience and performer in an array of sensory feedback zones. Realtime computer data processing brings the space around the participants alive in a unique synesthetic immersion that begins to complement the improvisatory interactions of the live performance.
