Summary
Montreux Jazz Video Jukebox is an immersive audiovisual installation developed in collaboration with EPFL to explore highlights from the Montreux Jazz Festival digital concert archive.
The installation allows visitors to navigate a selection of 49 iconic musical moments using natural body gestures. A motion capture system tracks the user’s movements in real time, transforms them into sound, and uses them as an interface to browse and interact with audiovisual content.
Montreux Jazz Video Jukebox was installed near the entrance of the Auditorium Stravinski during the 2015 Montreux Jazz Festival.
