SYNOPSIS
TRIAD is a media art work, a tekepresence performance and a web art piece to be seen on the Internet. It looks at the semiotic connections between dance, cinema and hypermedia from viewpoints of three different cultures.
TRIAD Project consists of two parts: TRIAD NetDance was a real-time live Internet stream and telepresence performance between Helsinki, Tokyo and New York on 5th of June 1998. TRIAD NetDance took place simultaneously on three stages in three different countries. The dancer, choreographer Molissa Fenley was dancing in New York, at Dance Theater Workshop. The butoh dancer, choreographer Akeno was dancing at the VTV studio in Tokyo. The Otna Eahket band played at the Kiasma theatre in Finland. The video signals from New York and Tokyo were combined at the Kiasma, mixed with the electronic backgrounds and streamed to the Internet. The three locations of this performance were combined to a virtual stage which could be experienced on the Internet. TRIAD HyperDance is an interactive art work on the net, containing a dance work as hypervideo and an interactive choreography. TRIAD HyperDance is based on the video and audio recording of NetDance. With the HyperDance, the work expands into three dimensions and the viewer can freely move from one virtual space to another having a possibility to combine the choreographic and audiovisual elements interactively. TRIAD Installation contains both TRIAD NetDance and TRIAD HyperDance.
