Info:
sopra-me (a.k.a. blow me) was a project developed with colleague Rita Figueiredo, to enter the Prémio Mapa - Arte e Tecnologia.
it was awarded the 1st prize
an improved version was later shown at Culturgest - lisbon as part of the TeDANCE - Technologically Expanded Dance conferences held between 22 - 24 november 2007.
technical info
this work has two structures, the stage for the performer, and a small stand with a fan. visitors are invited by the performer to interact, and when they blow to the small fan, it activates larger fans beneath the stage, in order to lift her skirt.
No computers involved in the process, only a small CPU fan, some electronic components (zenner diode, and a relay system) and electric fans.
