About

Dansmachine4 is an interactive art installation by Jerome Siegelaer that explores dance movements and body language. The installation is manipulated by those viewing and experiencing it. Their movements are projected in elegent projected images, given within the choreography specially made for Dansmachine4, written by Ed Wubbe and performed by Brandon O'Dell, both Scapino Ballet Rotterdam. The original soundtrack is written and performed by Ivar Bjornson of the Norwegian black metal band Enslaved. Dansmachine4 is an ode to the beauty of the moving body, at once powerfull and fragile. Dansmachine4 was developed further at the request of STRP Festival and funded by Provincie Noord-Brabant.
