Synthesis is a virtual dance performance in 7 scenes. It can be visited through a first person character controller like in a computer game. The viewer visits 7 pixelated landscapes, inhabited by weirdly dancing bodies. Movement recorded with a motion capture suit clashes onto fragments of digital architecture, each scene being accentuated with music and sound, all combined by the howling wind of the digital desert.

The scenes have a spontaneous and improvised, at the same time slightly disturbing character – they are fragmented and have their roots in quick analog sketches and paintings. Each scene is a transmitter of a different mood and atmosphere, leading the visitor onto a rocky road of impressions, thereby exploring and questioning the relation of physical and virtual, space and body.

Synthesis is part of the virtual exhibition Spirite ii) based in Leipzig, Germany. Spirite ii) is an exhibition about mathematics and art. The exhibition takes place physically in the gallery Multiversal Studio Leipzig and virtually. 12 artists and mathematicians show thematically related works that find form both virtually and analogously.
