Restless Glows

The experimental video project Restless Glows explores the interactions between light, human body, and technology. Synthesizing speculative research that combines contemporary utopias and ancient archetypes related to artificial lighting, it highlights the cross-influences between Western and East Asian cultures. This project combines computer-generated animated sequences (CGI) with real footage in China, Switzerland, and Italy. The animated sequences feature ethereal, luminous, and ever-changing avatars, brought to life using motion capture techniques.

For this project, we recorded two body-flying performers in a vertical wind tunnel with our Xsens inertial suit, and captured dance movements in the studio using our Vicon motion capture system.
