Digital Video Performance Art

Digital Video by Edward Ruiz , Dance by Mina Davidovich .

These photos were taken during one of our re-hearsals .
The idea was to have a video piece that was split into 2 projections . One projection on the wall like a digital painting , while the other projection shone on the gallery floor like a spot light for which the dancer to perform in.
The slower moving geometry on the wall contrasted with the small frantic pixels that seemed to engulph mina davidovich as she performes.

The entire piece was choregraphed to an original music composition. Using computer software real time video layers moved with the vibrations from the music creating etherial connections between what was seen and what was heard.

Video Diamonds for ISHI

Video mapping on Panels.
Edward Ruiz 2010
Designing , building and projecting media for the band ISHI.
These photos were taken at a ranch just outside Dallas county . It turned out to be a great location to try out the new set , my first live show / rehearsal with the band.



One of my first tests was out on the sidewalk. Back at the studio I spent time creating original visuals to go along with each of the bands songs. Once the visuals were created it was just a matter of loading them into my software, then mapping the projection onto the panels.

Piece of cake ... looks like i'm in the zone...
