Motion Disabled

Motion disabled

Created by the artist Simon McKeown, Motion Disabled is a digital exploration of the bodies - the biological pathologies - of people who are physically different. The work makes use of motion capture, a technique more commonly associated with feature films and computer games, along with 3D animation to create a kinetic connection with the human form - beautiful everyday movements highlighting all the intricacies and uniqueness of each person's physicality.

This unique film will be projected onto the John Dalton Building, visible from Oxford Road, for three nights. It will also be screened alongside Think, feel, move: through the eyes of a dancer.
