"What if film, rather than being projected from start to finish and proceeding in a straight line, could be reconstructed and performed? Every live visual performance involving video has more or less asked that question. But not every performance tries to convey a narrative in the process. Toni Dove’s Spectropia, coming this weekend to the storied Mixology Festival at New York City’s Roulette, does just that, interweaving a sci-fi storyline across imagined future and past through gesture-controlled, computer-vision activated remix." peter kern via http://createdigitalmotion.com/2012/05/if-movies-didnt-play-forward-toni-dove-r-luke-dubois-make-gestural-live-cinema/

"The public space is oftentimes set in motion by activities made for active people. This installation is activated by the moods and emotions playing out around it. It opens up for a new set of activities by introducing a broad range of ‘mood-based activities’. It is a whisper-game of how we invent and reinvent our identity on the stage of public space."
