Performance engine

DSC_0081The research group Virtual Theatre is busy with the development of a so-called Performance Engine.  This is a system of several hard- and software components that are designed to facilitate interaction with digital (multi-)media technology in a performative context and specifically oriented on the rehearsal phase of a theatre making proces.  See the theory section for a more elaborate and general description of the research context.

For more information on the Performance engine have a look at the video below for a 50 minute presentation we did in the Central Museum Studio in november 2009.

In september 2009 we tested the Performance Engine v0.4 in Huis aan de Werf as part of our LAB’s program.  Look at this English spoken presentation of the system and some blog-entries on our daily progress at the LAB.

Go the Versions page to read more about the context of the Performance Engine, its development history and more in-depth info on the technical possibilities.
