Moses Summey - technoechophenomena by Ada
A project by the company Ada in partnership with Microsoft. I worked as a Senior Creative Technologist leading the ideation and creation of the experience that included multiple Azure Kinects for body tracking, interactive sound and lighting.
The experience begins in a custom-built cubic room, where visitors learn a series of gestures choreographed by Sumney. His song “Me in 20 Years” pumps through the room as the lights come up. Then, using Microsoft’s Azure Kinect body-tracking technology, participants can manipulate the room. Different motions provoke responses to the light and shadows and alter the music’s elements as they shift Sumney’s voice through octaves, reverberations, and space. The technology enables each guest to have a powerful, out-of-body experience that is totally unique to them.
The video blends live performance with 3D animation to create a reality-bending artwork.
