Hyperbody's METABODY team exhibits 1:1 real-time interactive installations at the METATOPIA public event taking place 14th - 25th July at Media Lab Prado, Madrid, Spain
The Metatopia event is a public and press event of the INTERNATIONAL METABODY FORUM 2015; European project METABODY.
Metatopia is a metaopera, metaformance, and metagaming platform, a laboratory of perception, embodiment and space that extends in a series of installations / dis-concerts / performances / metaformances / urban interventions and home performances. Metatopia is the architectural, kinetic and perceptual laboratory of the Metabody agents (also called mutant bitches 2.0) who develop dynamic, intra-active spaces, illegible behaviors and unquantifiable affects that exceed reduction to data. Metabody agents are affect-hackers and perception hackers that operate in the ontological substrata of power and control. The 3rd IMF 2015 in Madrid will present an ensemble of performances, installations, (dis-)conerts and metaformances under the name METATOPIA, a metaopera and metagaming platform that will disseminate actions in the urban space while having its main site in the auditorium of Medialab Prado, where it will offer a transformative and intimate experience to the audience across a series of 15 installations-performances, preceded by 9 days of open production process, the Metamedialab.
Hyperbody's METABODY team shall exhibit pro-active architectural robotics driven 1:1 scale interactive installations within this context. The installation pieces have been developed within the MSc2, Spring Studio: IAE (Inter-activating Environments) of Hyperbody. The studio explores, hacks, and generates novel interactive Architecture projects as a strategic medium to enhance non-verbal communication. An inter-disciplinary initiative, the studio under the guidance of the METABODY team operates on a creative blend of Interaction design, new media, embedded sensing, actuation and control systems, programming, robotics and spatial thinking.
