Ecosystems getting out of control in the blink of an eye!
As soon as you enter the performance platform, you will be observed by HTS, the human tracking system. By your performance on the platform you can interact with an ecological system. Grass, sheep, and wolves form a dynamic balance. Can you figure out which of your movements yield a reaction in the ecosystem? Can you maintain the equilibrium?
The hybrid bio-tracking-system does not only analyze human motion, but also facial expressions, gestures and speech, rendering it far suprior to other state-of-the-art tracking systems. The students of the course "Minecraft Ecologies" have not only reprogrammed (modded) the game of Minecraft, but the tracking system as well.
The performance playfully touches on topics of appropriation and modification of the natural and technological environment. Visitors are invited to explore the limits and rules of this game.
