Problem
Traditional live performance formats are often constrained by physical venue limitations and geographic boundaries, limiting opportunities for cross-continental artistic collaboration. Artists working across dance, music, and visual art lack accessible infrastructure to combine their disciplines with real-time networked technology in experimental ways.
Solution
Skopetur provides a collaborative platform that brings together artists and creative technologists to incubate and present new forms of performance. The company curates experimental projects and supplies the technical framework needed to fuse art with cutting-edge technology. A key example is Distance Anatomy, a networked dance and music performance that uses low-latency network technology developed by the Hybrid Live research project from Goldsmiths & Stanford University to transmit audio and motion capture data in real time between IKLECTIK in London and a satellite location. Visual artists reinterpret the moving bodies on screen in humanoid forms, creating a unique audiovisual experience that challenges conventional notions of live performance.
Target Audience
Primary participants are experimental artists, dancers, musicians, and creative technologists seeking to develop and present interdisciplinary networked performances, as well as audiences interested in boundary-pushing live art experiences.
