THE SPECIAL PLAYER is an interactive performance in the context of the festival transmediale 08 - conspire. Involving a sophisticated responsive motion tracking environment, four contemporary dancers and its visitors, THE SPECIAL PLAYER explores a massively disquieting conspirative narration.

In the performance, the ambient digital environment provides the dancers with a complex ‘Digital Aura’, which reveals the network behind the obvious. Relaying to the ancient human fears, THE SPECIAL PLAYER throws its visitors right in the center of a sinister conspiration. Using a secret motion analysis algorithm, THE SPECIAL PLAYER selects single visitors and equips them with overwhelming power.

I AM YOU: THE SPECIAL PLAYER

The SPECIAL PLAYER is a result of an interdisciplinary cooperation project between international choreographs, contemporary dancers, the crossover interactive group 02L > OUTSIDE STANDING LEVEL, the Berlin-based Picamotics/ATTOMAAKU-Platform and libavg, an open-source high-level multimedia platform with a focus on interactive installations, in cooperation with c-base Berlin.
