| Brief description of the work: |
| Virtual reality
dance environment; wireless sensors monitor key physiological signs

colorful 3D renderings on a screen for the audience to watch during
the performance. |
| Materials, dimensions, duration: |
| Biofeedback
sensing, VR projection, programmed software |
| Location (venue & dates, public/ private):

| Visual/ audio-visual reference: |
 |
| Key theme(s): |
| Observing externalised
internal processes in realtime using visual and/or audial means; intense
engagement with a body |
| Further context: |
| Cyberprint is
similar to Flesh Protocol, however here the visual representation
is the principal mode of externalising body data. The audience attention
is directed towards the abstract visuals, and thus in competition
with the performer. |
