[ I ]nquiry II
Digital media/projection design for performance (April 2019)
Smithsonian National Museum of American History - Flag Hall, Washington, DC
[ I ]nquiry II is inspired by 21st century perceptions, constructions and manifestations of Self within online and physical spaces. A multidisciplinary collaboration between Choreographer Kim Brook Mata, Media Designer Mona Kasra, Composer Leah Reid, this mixed-media performance integrates dance and media to explore notions of identity, self- representation, and self-presentation in our hyper-mediated networked existence. This piece integrated live video feed and live projection mapping using a Realsense camera.
Creative Team: Mona Kasra (Media/Projection Design) Kim Brooks Mata (Choreographer), Leah Reid (Composer), Mellisa Singer (Costume Design). Dancers: Gabrielle Struckell, Amy Dalrymple, Carolyn Diamond, Deanna Lewis, Ridhi Sahani, Bryce Cuthriell. Design Team: Andrew Carluccio, Dallas Simms.
The ACCelerate festival is programmed by Virginia Tech’s Institute for Creativity, Arts, and Technology and the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History, Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation.
