UK studio Universal Everything motion-captured a dancer to make this animation, which is projected onto the world's highest-resolution screen. The hundreds of white light points that form the dancing figure become strands that glow yellow, then red, before solidifying into blue as the dancer moves across the screen. Universal Everything produced animations at a highly detailed 16K resolution for the 25-metre-wide by four-metre-high screen in the Hyundai Vision Hall, located at the South Korean motor group's Seoul campus.

A maelström of shouts, slaps, small dances, kabuki love scenes, tribal singings. They shift from loneliness to togetherness, sensation to dance soli, grotesque to subtle movements, from burning to shining, from shedding to getting rebirth.

The première took place in Something Raw Festival on February 14th 2012 in Amsterdam (NL).
The intention of this film was to explore movement flow. Specifically, the consequences of cutting, inserting, and patching an image of a movement flow into itself. For material, I chose sequences of a Contact Improvisation duet between two dancers who had a great appetite for extended flow. My task was to devise real-time editing techniques that could re-create a sense of flow while disrupting an already flowing dance. Each study uses a different improvisational score for real-time editing actions. The technology was 3/4" U-matic. While watching two monitor screens above me, I had to press the editing buttons (in and out) forcefully while standing up, making the activity a full-body interaction with my eyes.
