10.01.2022 We are pleased to announce that Professor Angela Ndalianis will be giving a fascinating keynote, entitled ‘Chimeras of Similitude’: Performance capture and dig...ital identity. For the more details about keynote speakers visit: https://suff.com.au/inhuman-screens.html Abstract Over the last two decades, motion capture has become a common computer-generated effects tool used to ‘capture’ the actions and movements of actors and objects and then translate their motions into a digital world on screen. Whereas motion-capture records the movement of actors (and objects), performance capture also known as e-motion and facial motion capture takes the detailing of movements and expressions further still by capturing the more intricate, micro movements involving and facial expressions. Focusing on the examples Farewell Yellow Brick Road, where Elton John’s face was recreated to look like his 1970’s self, and Tron: Legacy, where Jeff Bridges’ face was transformed into his 1980’s self, this paper is interested in exploring the intersection of entertainment and robotics effects. These virtual identities will be compared to the work of the roboticist Hiroshi Ishiguro and his robot-double Geminoid HI. All examples share the technology of performance capture, which attempts to capture the subtle expressions of the face, transferring facial expression and motion from indexical reality into digital reality. In examining this, the paper will explore the relationship between the real and its technological double, and ask where is identity to be found? Professor Angela Ndalianis, Swinburne University Angela Ndalianis is Research Professor in Media and Entertainment. Her research focuses on entertainment culture (films, video games, television, VR, comic books and theme parks) and the history of media technologies and how they mediate our experience of the world around us. Her expertise is in the transformative nature of media technologies past and present and how technologies impact on embodiment, the senses and perception. Her research focuses on the transhistorical and transcultural manifestation of the baroque as a perceptual regime driven by technological innovation. One of her passions is to explore the ramifications of many of these issues through the genres of horror and science fiction. Her publications include Neo-Baroque Aesthetics and Contemporary Entertainment (MIT Press 2004), Science Fiction Experiences (New Academia 2010), The Horror Sensorium: Media and the Senses (McFarland 2012) and the edited books The Contemporary Comic Book Superhero(editor, Routledge 2009), Neo-baroques: From Latin America to the Hollywood Blockbuster (co-editor, Rodopi Press/Brill 2016), and Fans and Videogames: Histories, Fandom, Archives (co-editor, Routledge, 2017.
