ABSTRACT
The "Light the Way" project focuses on how intention can be transmitted through a media agent in a dance performance. We are interested in both how the agent may transmit its intention, how it may perceive the intention of humans, as well as how the human perceived and then expresses their intention to fulfill their gesture; particularly in relation to space. We describe a trajectory of interactive performance works that explore embodied cues as intention in space through four steps: 1) a fully autonomous and interactive sonic agent with its own behaviours, 2) a human-operated, non-autonomous or interactive visual agent in a controlled workshop, 3) a dancer-operated, non-autonomous or interactive visual agent in a live performance, and 4) an autonomous, non-interactive visual agent with its own behaviours in a controlled workshop. This work explores the balance between different forms of embodied connections that are developed between human and agent performers, and the ways that this work could be developed in the future to support more intuitive interactions.
