“机器天鹅”是一项研发定制机器鸟的艺术计划,这款机器鸟可以随着经过重新混音录制的柴可夫斯基的《天鹅湖》翩翩起舞。编舞师根据音乐手动操纵鸟的翅膀,通过舞蹈将动作输入机器鸟,艺术家们则通过这个过程创作编舞。要完成这种多轨流程,艺术家需要和工程师合作,研发新颖的软件,实现动作记录与音轨的同步叠加。作者以一种艺术家的视角,探讨了身体的形体外观、技术与机器天鹅的情感表达之间的相互关联。 Machine Swan is an art project to develop custom machine birds that can dance with Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake that has been remixed. The choreographer manually manipulates the bird’s wings according to the music, enters the robot bird through the dance, and the artists create the choreography through this process. To accomplish this multi-track process, artists need to work with engineers to develop innovative software that synchronizes motion recording with audio tracks. From an artist’s point of view, the author explores the interrelation between the physical appearance of the body and the emotional expression of the technique and the swan of the machine.
