Choreographies for Humans and Stars
Dancing with the infinitely big
Thousands and millions of kilometres above our heads, way beyond our immediate field of perception, takes place a ballet of epic proportions. With every passing second, a multitude of celestial bodies burn, explode, rotate, collide, expand and retract without us being aware of it.
Choreographies for Humans and Stars is a permanent interactive installation inviting visitors to Montreal's planetarium to connect on a physical level with this outer space reality.
A project by: Daily tous les jours
My Role: Concept development, UX design, art direction, workshop design and animation, motion design
Guided through a series of instructions, participants use their bodies to act like passing shooting stars, planets lining up, revolving or stars burning revealing large-scale animations projected on the planetarium’s facade.
The visual content was co-produced with children from the surrounding communities over a few workshops aimed at introducing them to rudimentary animation techniques.
