Viktoria Modesta

Music Tech Fest Berlin · interactive mapping and light costume · 2016 · Funkhaus, Berlin

Our role Video mapping, tracking, electronics, real-time software.

Viktoria Modesta is a singer whose bionic leg is at the heart of her shows. For Music Tech Fest 2016 she challenged a team of artists and engineers: control music and light with the movements of her leg and arms, her voice and her brain.

The show was built in under a week: sensors on the leg and body, interactive music, a light costume, LED skin and brain sensors. We designed the interactive mapping that dresses the stage and the light costume, linked live to the singer’s gestures.

Performed at the Funkhaus in Berlin on 28 May 2016.
