Lines of Flight

Lines of Flight is an interactive dance performance that's tracked and visualized live as the dancers move. In this project, I was responsible for creating the visualization. During this process I especially loved working with dancers & artists, as well as being able to make something technical creative.

Line variations

At this point in the visualization we decided to portray each of the three dancers as their own trail of lines and explored different ways to do so. I adapted the drawing tool called MrDoob, written in Javascript, to Processing, the language we were coding in.

From here on out, the visualization was divided into three stages to follow the three distinct phases of the dance performance. A different line type was assigned to each phase, as well as a background color to suit the mood.
