Performance at Slought Foundation, Philadelphia, USA
Videography: Ellen Zweig
Face Shift
creation date: 2005
Second part of a two stage performance,
Morphology/ Face Shift performed at Slought Foundation Philadelphia USA in 2005, is an algorithmic facial choreography piece. Both sides of the face are controlled by identical algorithms, but one is slightly faster, over time creating visual shifting patterns from symmetry to asymmetry.
Two DECtalk voice synthesis machines are deployed for each side of the face, calling out the identification numbers of the activated muscles.
Face Shift has recently been
acquired by The Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Note: full length performance, duration 00:23:46.
