MAC Cinematheque Presents: lovelike, a mixed-reality musical performance

lovelike is a mixed-reality musical performance about losing yourself to loneliness and longing. The project uses motion capture and VR as part of an interface that allows avatars to interact with virtual objects as proxies for effects envelopes and instruments in audio software. Throughout the duration of the performance, Jenna Caravello and Celia Hollander collaborate on a musical composition on stage together, Jenna as an embodied avatar in a projected virtual world and Celia organizing incoming clips in live audio software.
