A multinational creative ensemble led by Romanian-Bulgarian visual artist Mihaela Kavdanska is featuring in London's Kinetica Art Fair, a showcase of artworks marrying pure imagination and technology prowess. The project, entitled 4th Skin, is presented with the support of RCI and consists of a spectacular inter-media dance performance which comments on the subjects of ephemerality, self-exploration, illusion of control and manipulation.
The show makes use of extensive technological support. Video content, captured real-time with a wireless camera is projected back on the performer's body, creating a layer of multimedia "skin", making visible what we see, touch or reflect.
