Pablo Ventura’s work “2047” will be present together with other Sino-Swiss projects on the swissnex China booth at this year’s Shanghai International Science & Art Exhibition. 2047 is an interactive installation that has been adapted from a dance work by the same title. The dance work was inspired by Won Kar Wai’s movie ‘2046’. The work contrasts traditional and computer based dance and employs motion tracking techniques and swarm behavior principles.
