Digital Marionette - Corebounce Art Collective
Pascal Müller, Stefan Müller Arisona, Simon Schubiger-Banz, Matthias Specht, CH
The Digital Marionette impressively shows the audience the look and feel of a puppet in the multimedia era: The wooden marionette is replaced by a Lara Croft—like cyber character; the traditional strings attached to the puppet control handles emerge into a network of computer cables. The translation from old to new, from analogue to digital, takes place via eight computer mice, which track movements of the individual strings attached to the puppet, and through digital speech recognition. Using this expressive interface, the puppet master can anonymously conduct the digital marionette, which reveals itself to the audience with an over-dimensioned, computer-generated face and a loud voice.
