Take an artificial movement – the flicker of a glitch.

Combine ambient environment movement – water.

Static symbolism – a representation of the moving energy in the human body.

What presence is there?

Nicola Plant is a movement artist, coder and researcher with a PhD in Media Art and Technology at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London. Specialising in motion capture, she makes movement-based interactive installations and experiences that explore human expression, embodiment, intersubjectivity and the vicarious experience of empathy.

Plant asks: What qualities of movement convey the intangible aspects of human experience? What does it mean to be embodied? How can technology augment or unsettle the experience of embodiment?
