Rapid Prototype 3

Play-testing at the junction of live art, interaction and tech.

Overview

Rapid Prototype 3 plans to bring to Legs on the Wall's Lilyfield headquarters some of three-dimensional printing's make-sure-things-get-made-right attitude of print out, check out and recycle. Each instalment is a 'scratch' night with benefits all round: fun for you, feedback for the artist. They're each working at the junction of live art, interaction and tech, so testing is necessary to get all the kinks ironed out and all the robots suitably compliant.

The night is part of Legs on the Wall's Open Source program. The follow-up to last year's ventures at 107 Projects and Alaska Projects, this one will feature Michaela Davies, who uses fine electric muscle stimulation to cause fine movements — such as those required to play an instrument. The Macquarie University Performance Innovation Team reveal a technology that might make you forget what a bad dancer you really are, while Applespiel and zin collective test out some of the interactive features of their upcoming Underbelly Arts projects.
