Ugol Naklona is a choreographic performance made within an art residence at the
Peredelkino Writer’s House in Moscow.
The main theme of a residence program was synesthesia — a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in other sensory or cognitive pathways.
As visual artist and developer I was interested in involving someone with completely different way
of expression. This led to a collaboration with a russian contemporary choreographer Albina
Vakhitova. I wanted to built some kind of an instrument that would work as a communicator
between a performer and procedural graphics in real time. My curator
Alexandra Gavrilova had made a custom
interactive device: a self-made gyroscope and accelerator. I put it in a tiny ball and connected with the visuals so that the performer could move with it and control the visual part.
