With Video Cage, U2 Continues To Evolve Concert Staging And Experience - Forbes - 1 views

  • Between the two stages is a walkway that is surrounded by two 96’ by 22.5’ LED screens on each side. While the screens do play video, they are also see-through and allow the band to stand and play in the walkway between the video boards. Bono and Co. are still playing their exhaustive list of hits dating back to 1980′s “I Will Follow”, but they are also innovating the in-arena experience to suit an audience that is growing increasingly used to living on and through screens.

    On U2's 2015 tour, the jem of their stage was the "video cage"; two massive video boards spanning the length of their two stages (linked by a walkway). Whether you are a U2 fan or not, the stage is pretty remarkable. A clip of the screen in action can be found here (start at the 3:30 minute point): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YylDq4BlkRI

Evaluating Longitudinal Projects Combining Technology - 2 views

    This is a link to a scholarly paper about the dance.draw program from UNC Charlotte. This work is supported by an NSF CreativeIT Award#IIS-0855882 grant. The program is a marriage of technology and dance. The dancers are tracked by cameras or gyro devices that they carry on their person. The software then uses the dancers information to change display information behind the stage and or modify audible information. http://dancedraw.uncc.edu/DanceDraw/Dance.Draw.html

    This is really intriguing. I have longed to do something like this with music, translating scores into visual images, so that you see patterns, colors and textures. I haven't read the paper yet, but I will. Also, I find it interesting that this is happening at UNCC. I have a house in Charlotte. I am only temporally in Memphis. Over the years I have done a lot of work with UNCC, and I know several people in the dance department, but I had not heard about this project.
