Dancing in Norms – How to Misuse MoCap Data with Generative Systems for the FMX Trailer

Based on an improvised dance performance, the project explores ways of translating and 'misusing' motion capture data. Developing generative systems for the captured movement, it transforms motion into abstract character designs that question what it means to move within modern standards and technologies. This talk examines a systematic approach to motion capture that challenges conventional applications and pushes storytelling to its limits—relying solely on movement and abstract shapes.
