Giant Leaps
The Museum of Science and Industry presents the annual Manchester Science Festival, an eleven-day extravaganza featuring over 100 events across Greater Manchester for families and adults.
Award-winning choreographer and filmmaker Corey Baker brings innovation to dance with Giant Leaps, a specially commissioned piece for the festival. Partnering with the European Space Agency, Baker explores how different atmospheres affect human movement, aiming to create a dance for astronauts.
Commissioned to collaborate with Corey Baker Dance, we designed an interactive, immersive installation to engage audiences with Baker's mission and STEM subjects. Using cutting-edge depth data sensors, we created motion-reactive particle systems inspired by images from space observatories.
Galaxy-like spectacle
Visitors' movements were translated into thousands of unique stars, orbiting and bursting outwards to create a galaxy-like spectacle.
Holographic gauze captured the animation in real-time, creating an illusionary space where dancers performed amidst floating stars.
