THE SPECIAL PLAYER
THE SPECIAL PLAYER is an interactive performance in the context of the festival transmediale 08 - conspire. Involving a sophisticated responsive motion tracking environment, four contemporary dancers and its visitors, THE SPECIAL PLAYER explores a massively disquieting conspirative narration.
In the performance, the ambient digital environment provides the dancers with a complex ‘Digital Aura’, which reveals the network behind the obvious. Relaying to the ancient human fears, THE SPECIAL PLAYER throws its visitors right in the center of a sinister conspiration. Using a secret motion analysis algorithm, THE SPECIAL PLAYER selects single visitors and equips them with overwhelming power.
I AM YOU: THE SPECIAL PLAYER
The SPECIAL PLAYER is a result of an interdisciplinary cooperation project between international choreographs, contemporary dancers, the interactive live set group 02L > Outside Standing Level, the Berlin-based Picamotics/ATTOMAAKU-Platform and libavg, an open-source high-level multimedia platform with a focus on interactive installations.

SHARE PRIZE 2008: jury statment
Bruce Sterling, chairman, novelist, journalist, art and design critic, Austin.
Piero Gilardi, artist, Torino.
Stefano Mirti, architect and interaction designer, IDLab, Milano.
Anne Nigten, co-organizer of the Dutch Electronic Art Festival (DEAF)
and manager of the V-2 Lab, Rotterdam.
This has been a very good year for the physical and the actual in digital culture.
In the 1990s, virtual art, website art and Internet art would have dominated our entries. But in 2007, five of our
six prize finalists involve a physical, hands-on encounter with digital technology -- and we mean it is digital art that must be literally touched and gripped by the hands of artists and audience.
The sixth piece is driven by living human breath.
It has recently been said that "cyberspace is turning itself out," that "the virtual is becoming the actual." We think this years' chosen artists may have proven this thesis. They have created extraordinary works where digital images crawl out
of screens and onto human fingers, where digital sound samples leave the computer to become solid chunks of wood carved on industrial lathes. We also have a large, synaesthetic, immersive installation, two multi-user interaction pieces suitable for groups, and one of the scariest and most physically confrontational pieces of electronic art yet created.
Digital art is getting heavier, more immediate, embodied and physically realized. Digital technology can manufacture now, and digital culture is changing our world in ways that we can touch, grip and feel.
It seems to us that these new trends favor a city long known for its industry and its high-tech craft, Torino, the World Capital of Design 2008. The chosen theme for our digital culture festival is "Manufacturing."
We judges will be back in March 2008 to decide the winner among these six excellent finalists. We look forward to the best and most ambitious SHARE Festival ever.
