Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring)
Thu 15 March
The interdisciplinary artist Klaus Obermaier, supported by the Ars Electronica Futurelab, enters the 21st century with "Sacre". He has developed a 3D visualisation using cameras to project the live dancer Julia Mach into a virtual three-dimensional space, with the music directly influencing the virtual presence of the performer and her avatars thus creating a kind of meta-choreography.
