THE SPECIAL PLAYER is a fully interactive environment. Involving a sophisticated responsive motion tracking technique, professional dancers, The Shaidon Effect DJ-set, THE SPECIAL PLAYER explores a massively disquieting conspirative narration revolutionizing the concept of augmented reality and sense of self.
Basic predicate: physical being and your movements become part of the process.
Fusion festival is a beloved and very well known event that takes place not so far from Berlin, in a russian air outpost. THE SPECIAL PLAYER will be part of this great roundup at THE LUFTSCHLOSS. http://www.fusion-festival.de/de/2008/home/programm/theater/ http://www.thespecialplayer.com http://www.myspace.com/theshaidoneffect http://www.thebarotti.com>INTERACTIVE ENJOYMENT
4 dancers dive into one of the most exciting interactive surfaces ever seen: their silhouette plays with themselves skipping back and forth in time. That's only one of the several effects your essence will experience.
We are proud to announce the next 02L event, that will take place this time at FUSION FESTIVAL.
FUSION FESTIVAL, now at the eleventh edition, is one of the most striven destinations for ravers, music lovers and idealists that love to dive, for four days, in a parallel universe. The festival will take place not so far from Berlin, one of the most exciting capital cities of Europe, in a suggestive environment of a former russian airfield, among the pulsating bass drums of 15 different stages, green fields and woods and old eastern wracks, with a predicted presence of 40 thousand hot people.
Taken to higher level of excitement by the undefined entity 02L > OUTSIDE STANDING LEVEL, a one-shot and unforgettable show will take place on Saturday night (June 28th) around 2 o'clock, in a fight between interactive technologies, devastating beats and delectable dancing, with the new proposal of THE SPECIAL PLAYER, this time proposed with a very RAVE flavor.
Under the white dome of the Luftschloss ('castle in the sky') there will be played the rite of an unique synergy between DJ (THE SHAIDON EFFECT), a group of four talented dancers, drummer, VJ and public. A special arbiter will take care of pulling the triggers of your pleasure: a sophisticated motion tracking system, which takes in account the responsibility to add another virtual dimension to the show.
THE SPECIAL PLAYER "interactive live temple show", presented as a premiere project at TRANSMEDIALE'08 BERLIN (Germany) and replayed at Hiroshima Mon Amour club, Turin (Italy), during the Warp label night and hosted by PIEMONTE SHARE FESTIVAL, has more than one change, this summer, to astonish and entertain, in a sequence of hot dates (Half Machine, Pop-eye, Gogbot, Versch, STRP).
I AM YOU: THE SPECIAL PLAYER
