For MIF15, artist Ed Atkins is drawing back the digital curtain with Performance Capture.

In this film, we go behind the scenes at Studio Distract, where Ed Atkins tells us about the spectacle of Performance Capture.

Performance Capture will be an exhibition, a studio and a singular document of MIF15. Taking place at Manchester Art Gallery over the course of the Festival, the exhibition will provide a unique and reflexive insight into the production of a computer-generated moving image work.

Performance Capture takes its name from a process that records, maps and renders the movements of a performer on to a computer-generated figure, an avatar who performs as the digital double for the performer — in this case, performers of every stripe from the MIF15 programme.

The exhibition, curated by Ed Atkins, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Alex Poots, will be laid out as stages of a production process, leading from one to another across three rooms at the gallery.

Performances by MIF artists are captured onto computer, digitally modelled, cut and soundtracked, and then screened in a perpetual cinema of the ever-accumulating rushes of the footage. Each part of the process will be open to visitors both as behind-the-scenes exposition and exhibition; an examination and ambivalent exemplar of contemporary
image production.

Over four Festivals, MIF has established a commitment to presenting work from artists at the leading edge of performance art – from Il Tempo del Postino (MIF07) to Marina Abramović Presents (MIF09) to 11 Rooms (MIF11) and Mayfield Depot (MIF13). Performance Capture takes this engagement forward into the digital realm.
