Modern dance inspired by science
One of my favorite blogs, Boing Boing (“a directory of Wonderful Things”) recently highlighted a great video featuring a modern dance piece that is based on principles of fluid dynamics, which are the physics that predict the movement of liquids and gasses.
Dancer Hope Goldman worked in collaboration with visual artist Andrew Moffat to create this piece. What’s amazing to me is that this was created with a $40 webcam, some cheap software, and a projector.
Take a look, I hope you like it as much as I did!
