Moving Photon - Evening Session

Ugly Duck revitalises underused space. We find empty and underused spaces and open them up for a range of creative uses. We run projects which animate and connect people to public spaces.We believe that space – especially in overcrowded cities like London – should never be left empty. We take vacant and disused buildings and bring them back into creative use; reflecting communities and histories, investigating social issues through arts and enterprise.

Ugly Duck Spaces

Moving Photon is an interactive installation/performance created by Friendred Peng exploring embodiment and social connection.

Ugly Duck

In this piece, EEG data is streamed live to control the morphology of an installation during a dance performance. The perception of the machine by the participant is translated into movement, manipulating the viewers’ experience and creating a perceptive feedback loop of human-machine communication.There will be a virtual event during one of the evening performances during which participants will be able to interact remotely through a web browser and their mobile phones to explore a sense of presence through a virtual interface and experience collective social connection. To participate remotely, please contact: friendred0@gmail.com BOOKING INFORMATION!You can either choose to wear an EEG cap to watch the performance while the data is live streamed feeding into the installation directly or to be a spectator. The dancer will improvise according to the live manifestation of brainwave data. In the afternoon prior to the evening performances, you can book an interactive installation ticket where you can experience the installation using wearable sensors and data to directly control its movement.*If you choose to participate for the EEG, you will be contacted by us prior to the performance with more detailed information.*If you choose to participant participate remotely, a few things you might want to know before attending the performance:Instructions will be sent out to you, and you will be asked to download an app on your mobile deviceWe will have a technical support team to help you to download and connect to our server to control the performance onsiteYou will need to attend the performance online half an hour before it starts.Friendred is an installation and computational artist currently based in London. He has been focused on disciplines crossing arts, technology and sciences. His recent work bridged the conversation between movement and algorithmic machines, exploring the sensory apparatus and interactive systems. Through the exploration of technologized elements and societal influences and entangled relationships with other disciplines, the emergence of embodiment, technologized performance and the architectural body have emerged as his main interests.
