12Fitfy Mb/s

“12Fifty Mb/s” is about the artistic examination of the topic “Big Data”.  In this interactive performance the processes of Data collection and Data privacy are being investigated.

In “12Fifty Mb/s” four international dancers search for the pillars and limits of Big Data and also address the question of how resistance can be made in the context of Big Data despite the permanent collection of data.

For the experience of the performance, a special app was developed in collaboration with the MIREVI team from the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf. The audience will be provided with a smartphone and the developed app. The dancers’ movements and the choreography function as raw data, which is sent to the audience’s smartphones to be converted into information. The choreography is build around three layers of technology such as Motion Capture, QR Codes and NFC Tags, each with their own personal approach and interactivity.

Contemporary dance is used to make the digital network process and the process of data collection tangible.
