Special Features of chasing waterfalls
editIn chasing waterfalls, the audience is actively involved in the performance. Before the show, viewers can have their faces scanned in 3D to become part of a stage projection that visually represents the AI. This interactivity allows everyone to discover a part of themselves in the performance and question the boundaries between reality and the digital world.
The staging is characterized by a fluid set design that combines real and digital waterfalls to create a dynamic space where performers and the audience meet. This innovative use of technology and spatial design reflects the concept of "Ego fluens" and invites engagement with one's own identity.
With projects like chasing waterfalls, phase7 performing.arts sets new standards in the world of performing arts and offers fascinating insights into the possibilities of artistic collaboration with Artificial Intelligence.
