Dance Base Yokohamaにて、エクスチェンジプログラム『PORTAL Choreographic and Spatial Research Residency』が開始しました!

現在、DaBYでは、イギリスを拠点とする振付家・演出家・学際的アーティストのDarren Johnstonを迎え、レジデンスを実施中です。

Darren Johnstonは、ZHA(Zaha Hadid Architects)でのレジデンスとコラボレーションを通じて、この探求を深めてきました。

本プロジェクトは、動き・音・光・建築空間が交差し、仮想(バーチャル)と物理(フィジカル)の境界を探求する、進化し続けるプロジェクトです。本作では、仮想的・非物質的な状態が、身体的な体験へと立ち現れる場を追求しています。

Dance Base Yokohamaでのレジデンスでは、身体的・仮想的な振付、デジタルと物理的環境、そして空間音響の実験に焦点を当て、新たなインスタレーションとパフォーマンスのコンセプトを生み出しています。儀礼の構造、瞑想的な実践、現代の音響体験の空間、そして京都のHOSOOをはじめとする日本のパートナーから着想を得ながら、本プロジェクトは「生成AI」を、仮想的・物理的なデザインおよび体験の形態を繋ぐ共通の糸(コネクティブ・スレッド)として、探求します。

本プロジェクトは、来年サドラーズウェルズで上演予定のポータルプロジェクトとのエクスチェンジとして開催します。

Designer Aya Maruyama reinterprets Bai tie-dye, an intangible cultural heritage, through the language of generative digital art.

I developed and constructed the overall visual and spatial expression as an immersive environment.

Industrial structures, dynamic light and digital particle flows bring tradition and the future into dialogue.

Having started his career as a dancer and choreographer, Darren Johnston’s creative journey has been one of constant experimentation and intuition – one that’s seen him join the dots between design, dance, architecture and electronic music.

He’s choreographed for Aphex Twin, showcased immersive performances at the Barbican, and is now an artist in residency at the Zaha Hadid Gallery in London. Here he reflects on how generative AI is informing his next leap forward.

I often have the strangest dreams. One quite profound one recently where a room was glitching in front of my eyes like a weird transmission, leading into some strange tunnel construction. Using prompt based tools as an experiment I tried to recreate this idea allowing the randomness and divergence to exist. Stitching together different parts in post and using keyframes to prompt AI transitions. Soundtrack created in response to the image..#aiart #promptart #glitchart #creativecoding #surrealart
Uploading more experiments from my last Tokyo trip. Organic textures digitally reimagined. Allowing a mixed media approach, integrating prompt based tools into the flow. Ambient sound design in response to the image #darrenjohnston #visualart #aiart #promptart #digitalart
Further down the wormhole. Started earlier this year during my trip to Tokyo. Dark organic textures made through experimentation of image generation and animation. Using prompt based tools at certain points to enhance creative ideas and workflow. Bespoke sound design in response to the image. #darrenjohnston #visualart #aiart #promptart
Continuing my artist in residence at the Zaha Hadid Architects Gallery, London I’ll be presenting Phase 1 of Portal, my new collaboration with March 13-20. Limited places available so book early to ensure your slot. – Eventbrite link in bio.

Last year I spent 3 weeks in Seoul as part of my research and collaboration. Working with Korean dancer. ‘Portal’ realigns ideas of virtuality into physical reality, using the work of ZHA to sculpt metaverse structures into real world interventions. The new collaborative pieces will include performance and installation informed by ‘Architecting the Metaverse’ a collaboration between ZHA and Refik Anadol (video above) and a bespoke piece in the ZHA TechLab.

.
‘Architecting the Metaverse’ presented ’s innovative experiments with architectural data both in the physical world and the metaverse using multi-modal AI algorithms to analyse image and script architectural data compiled and composed by ZHA. An immersive experience showcasing the experimental perspective of the metaverse to come, by merging machine learning, AI, and ZHA’s repertoire.

With the generous support of
