pubs.rights-statement	This research is in the field of interaction design for live performance. The use of multimedia technologies in dance has a long history dating back to the 19th Century. Since the 1980s, digital motion tracking technologies have become increasingly prevalent and performers are finding new ways to explore their use in live performance. Landmark works include David Rokeby’s Very Nervous System (1986), Glow (2006) and Mortal Engine (2008) by Chunky Move (Australia) and works by Troika Ranch (USA) and Palindrome (Germany). All feature live motion tracking systems linked to computer systems that produce interactive graphics. The 35 minute interactive dance work, Pixel Mountain, developed in collaboration with Stalker Theatre, Sydney made use of large-scale projection technology and infra-red motion tracking techniques to produce an immersive environment for live performance. Interactive real-time animations were projected onto and around the performance space, one of Gwacheon’s most iconic buildings and on the Seoul Museum of Art. Aerialists dance on the side of walls while real-time interactive projections respond to the dancers’ every move. Pixel Mountain premiered at Gwacheon Festival and at Hi Seoul in Korea in September-October 2013. Additionally, it was featured at the Cervantino Festival, Mexico in October 2014 where it was seen by approximately 10,000 people. Pixel Mountain received a 2013 Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade Rehearsal and Production Grant of $33,000 and a 2013 Dept of Foreign Affairs and Trade: Australia-Korea Council Rehearsal and Production Grant of $13,000.00.	en_US
