Max Levy Choreographic Works & Cosa Mentale
What do we move, and what moves us? When do we begin, how do we begin?
Temporal Spaces invites visitors into a space featuring interactive zones and feedback releases. In an exchange between phases of interaction and observation, they become dancers, choreographers, and audience, collectively experiencing the result of the parametres they recorded and changed. Temporal Spaces links the curiosity and the playful instincts of the guests present with the AI interpretation to capture movement to produce and to archive repeating interaction as a visualised choreography.
Max Levy is a choreographer, performer, and artist and lives in Frankfurt on the main. He works with a multitude of formats and media and connects athletic concentration, meditational processes, and atmospheric exploration through stage, sound, and dance. Cosa Mentale consists of Célia Bétourné and Louis Cortes, who combine audio-visual creation, interaction design, and programming. Their works are multimedia, interactive, immersive, and transdisciplinary.
