真鍋大度「LATENT BODY」& 明和電機「UME」

真鍋大度首度在台個人演出——「LATENT BODY」 

作為世界媒體藝術的代表人物，真鍋大度將在高雄帶來他首次於台灣的個人演出「LATENT BODY」，這場演出融合了DJ與VJ技術。

多年來許多人嘗試用各種方法把舞蹈轉換成錄像，又或是運用舞蹈中的資訊生成為錄像，自早期的數學、建築及工程開始到今時今日機器學習和人工智能已被積極運用於轉換跟編舞。近來一種新的錄像生成方法稱為擴散模型 (Diffusion Model)出現了，它更新了固有將舞蹈動作轉換成錄像的模式。這次演出通過整合最新的演算方法及流動模擬、影像分析及人工模擬等技術，將人類的身體數據轉換成錄像，旨在探索全新影像表達的可能性。

Many attempts have been made to convert dance into a video, or generate a video using the information taken from dance, utilizing various methods. Starting with mathematics, architecture, and engineering in the early days, machine learning and AI have been actively used to transform and generate choreography these days.

Recently, a new method of video generation called Diffusion Model has emerged and is updating the way of converting dance motion and movement into video.

This work explores the possibilities of new video expression by converting body data into a video by integrating the latest algorithms and other techniques such as fluid simulation, image analysis, and artificial simulation.

UME：Unaccompanied、Music、Entertainment 

Maywa Denki's UME Course is a live performance by Maywa Denki using minimal equipment and staging. The regular Maywa Denki stage is called the MATSU Course and

is a lively stage with many performers including the president, executives, and workers, as well as a variety of electric instruments but in this performance challenge the traditional form, the president sometimes alone and sometimes accompanied by other workers, to perform with a limited number of electric instruments. 

The UME BOX used in this performance is the boxes that can be carried by one person, compactly containing newly developed electric instruments and robots. It is functionally housed inside the boxes just like the makunouchi boxed lunches of Japanese culture.
