Final Project

For my final project, I wanted to work with this idea of how a dancer interacts with their stage as well as other dancers.  Using the XBox Kinect I tracked my movements while dancing to "Let It Die" by Feist.  I had then created a patch using Max5 that would both draw my movements within the space as well as constructed a code that I can then manipulate in an infinite amount of ways.
Below you can see the illustration that Max5 has drawn out that mimics my movements as well as the code that was created.  I eventually would like to take this image into Illustrator and manipulate it into a more complex and interesting design, which I would then have printed using a Laser Cutter.
