MODEUN COMPANY
<PISTE: Eight Moments> is an interactive media art project that combines dancers’ movements and generative art content. With its motive coming from the motility of fencing, the project visualizes eight moments that face the present into branches of paths. Its visual technology operates real-time, reacting to the space and directed movements and allowing the audience to discover gaps and voids that come up.

We try to overcome many challenges and reach a certain goal; yet we sometimes feel we are at a dead end. Our lives resemble fencing matches on the limited area of the piste as we keep our eyes out for “gaps” and “moments” in the tight space called the world. Moving sets offer eight “moments”, portraying ourselves struggling to stand ground as
