VR show on movements
The ongoing edition of Attakkalari India Biennial is pushing the limits of dance and movement with virtual reality (VR). On Monday, it unveiled an installation that transports viewers into a virtual world with VR headsets on. It is called CyberBallet.
The virtual world doesn’t simulate real-life locations. It is a cyber world overrun with darkness, numbers and squiggly figures. These squiggly figures are the actual movements of professional dancers captured and interpreted by artificial intelligence.
This installation is the work of Berlin-based VR and theatre collective, CyberRäuber.
Till January 28, between 7 pm and 9 pm, at Attakkalari Centre for Movement Arts, Wilson Garden. Register at attakkalaribiennial.org/ cyberballet
