FILM/

Herrera Codes by Ben Cullen Williams X Wayne McGregor X Royal Ballet

Working with Wayne McGregor and Royal Ballet dancers Fumi Kaneko and William Bracewell, a duet from McGregor’s work Untitled was reimagined by Ben Cullen Williams and machine learning. In the original work McGregor collaborated with Burberry for the costumes and the late visual artist Carmen Herrera for the scenography. Williams filmed the duet which he then hijacked with CGI images using machine learning to give the dancers new digital skins, reimagining the body in the digital world. Warping and changing their physical structure, body reimagined, destruction and creation. The work is accompanied by music by Lauren Duffus.
