Line Scanner (Herbert W. Franke Tribute Edition) release

Operator releases an excerpt from their first collaborative artwork “Line Scanner” (2016) as part of the Tribute to Herbert W. Franke.

Still from Line Scanner (2016)

Line Scanner merges computer graphics and performance; it was created through Dejha Ti live triggering animations, video mapped onto Ania Catherine’s improvised movement from a projector suspended 11 meters above. The full length version of Line Scanner has been exhibited at CICA Museum in Korea, CADAF NYC, and film festivals internationally. 

This edition is released on the occasion of the Tribute to Herbert W. Franke, as it realizes Franke's observation made decades earlier that "...the emergence of computer graphics could lead into other, quite different directions, for instance to unconventional, nondeterministic forms of theater" (Computer Graphics — Computer Art, 1971).
