Maciej Walczak | Robert Balinski | Konrad Korabiewski “Gallery of the Virtual Body“,

Interactive audiovisual opera variations, The Grand Theater of Łódź

On The 9th of February 2002 the first-night performance of the Giuseppe Verdi’s opera “Falstaff” took place on the stage in The Great Theater Of Lodz , Poland. In the same time within “The Gallery of the Virtual Body” — project by Robert Balinski an audiovisual variation of the opera was presented. It was an interactiv, AV performance where the sound and image from the main stage (through the camera) was transported directly to the computers. The authors Maciej Walczak (image) & Konrad Korabiewski (sound) were transforming the signal in real-time, creating new artistic quality of the spectacle. Both performances started and ended in the same time, only for different public.
