Golem-Labor Tel-Aviv
The results of the Golem-Labor Tel Aviv were created in cooperation with the talented young dancers from the Maslool Professional Dance Program Bikurej HaItim, Tel Aviv. I worked remotely with the dancers on contemporary movement modalities to advance their studies.
Working with this pre-professional group of students opened new design inquiry with motion capture systems, as their command of contemporary dance movement revealed idiosyncratic styles, gesture and advanced command of tempo and form. Viewing these virtual movements linked a uniqueness of each dancer’s body to their physical form.

Virtual Exhibition Spaces
The virtual spaces were created in Mozilla Hubs, an online platform viewable in VR or 2D on desktop. The exhibition spaces remain as archival sites for the dancers’ movement and experience. Below you can access the homeroom and a selected dancer’s room.
These recordings were created during a workshop in the framework of the project Golem-Labor, initiated and conceived by Carly Lave, in cooperation with gamelab.berlin: Thomas Lilge, James Hudson and Holger Beier.
