MetaPhase: a contrapuntal dialogue between a pianist and her avatar in the metaverse / Giusy Caruso (BE), LWT3 (IT) / Ars Electronica
MetaPhase* is the artistic output of a cross-sector encounter between avant-garde pianist and researcher Dr. Giusy Caruso (BE) and the innovative start-up LWT3 (IT). This joint research was driven to explore the creative potential of data processing, human-machine interaction, and biotechnological applications in a XR performance to enhance performers’ expressiveness and audience fruition. The core is a wearable easy-to-use prototype developed by LWT3 able to acquire bio-signals (surface electromyography sEMG). The biometric metadata collection is shared via the LWT3 data platform accessible to performers/scholars/citizens.
