‘‘Live sets with MiMU Gloves‘‘ is the cue when talking about the Dutch artist Chagall. Her work, which oscillates between software development, programming, the use of sensor technology and performance, brought Chagall international attention early on – her performances at TEDx events, Ableton Loop, MUTEK Montreal, Reeperbahn Festival, Sonar +D, Dutch Design Week, Nesta Futurefest and Boiler Room not only show that her fascination with the humanisation of electronic music performance has paid off, but also touches a nerve of the times..
For Blaues Rauschen Festival 2022, Chagall presents her project Advaita_, for which she transformed the Xsens motion-capture suit into a full-body musical instrument. ADVAITA is the meeting of the human and the digital. The real and the virtual. In Advaita, live music, technology, visualisation and movement work together harmoniously as all artistic elements are controlled by a single element: the artist’s body. Motion-capture suits allow her to control avatars in real time that dance with her on the screen. The result is a synergy of movement, music and visual effects that is intuitively and emotionally understood.
