light suit dance
Initially commissioned by La Revue de l’ULB, the production of EL wires suits for a light and dance show was the first experiment of Ohme in a 100% self-produced direction. This multidisciplinary project was a nice opportunity to create synergies with a large number of experts in many diverse fields: many people with various expertises (dancers, stylists, electronics engineers, musical producers, coders, choreographers, etc) have been involved.
Each costume is made up of 8 EL wires remote-controlled over a wireless Zigbee network and designed on a MIDI track in Ableton Live.
The used technologies make this performance very modular and adaptable to many contexts. It has been performed in educational situations or tech fairs as well as during celebrations and charitable events.
