HEATHER RAIKES' "CORPUS CORVUS", A STEREOSCOPIC 3D DANCE PERFORMANCE, SUPPORTED BY DEPTHQ®



Heather Raikes' latest project titled "Corpus Corvus" premiered February 5th, 2011 at the Fremont Abbey Arts Center with 3D support by DepthQ® Stereoscopic. The production is a mixed reality performance and derivative stereoscopic cinema artwork that explores contemporary mythos through immersive media technologies.

Heather Raikes is a physical/media artist.

Corpus Corvus utilizes stereoscopic 3D projection, motion capture animation, an integrated physical/media choreographic vocabulary, and electroacoustic composition to explore the Pacific Northwest Native American myth of the raven as god and thief who steals the sun and creates the universe. Raikes is currently completing her PhD at DXARTS, the University of Washington’s Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media.
