These bezier curves are modelled on the artists sketches of people in real conversation, fragmenting into a concertina at the arcs and seeming to go in unpredictable trajectories. Is there presence there?

‘Like two people, whose paths seem to cross, and then they don’t’ Arvo Part on a segment of Fur Alina.

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?
