We\u2019\u00c4\u00f4ll take a look at the likes of David Rokeby, Camille Utterback, Golan Levin and others like them over the last 20 years &#8211; all artists working with technology and the body. During our time together, we\u2019\u00c4\u00f4ll also see what kinds of tools are available for potential VJs, artists and musicians who want to produce interactive installations or multimedia performances. Finally, we\u2019\u00c4\u00f4ll break down, conceptually, how someone might achieve body-tracking, motion tracking or proximity sensing with a simple web cam, and take a quick look at \u2019\u00c4\u00fajitter\u2019\u00c4\u00f9 (a very popular interactive video development environment for artists), and some projects made with it.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If in GHT, tell your friends.
