The basic idea of Unnamed Soundsculpture by Berlin based generative design studio Onformative is creating a moving sound sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person.

Onformative asked Laura Keil, a Berlin based dancer to interpret a musical piece – Kreukeltape of Machinefabriek  – as closely as possible with the movement of her own body. She was recorded by three depth cameras, in which the intersection of the images was later put together to a three-dimensional volume. The dancer moves to a noise field which can create new versions of the video, each offering a different composition of the recorded performance.
