Free UR Head
NOTE: To book slots on Thu or Fri, you have to be a ticket holder or have a FFM festival badge.
Free UR Head is a public participatory choreography project, using custom developed real-time XR technology. It started with the idea to bring people together and play with VR technology, making it more accessible and public. What if we can conduct the heads of the VR audience into a
choreography?
We invite you to join and participate in an unprecedented collective large scale immersive performance. Seated with VR headsets you will “perform” into an impromptu unrehearsed choreography. The experience will take place in the presence of audiences there on purpose or passing by who can enjoy the choreography taking shape in real time.
By playing around with collective movement using virtual reality, Free UR Head questions and explores the boundaries of conducted collective movement and behavior in a mutual relationship with digital technology.
