FOCUS MACHINE is a short film exploring connection, disorientation, and sight through movement guided by GoPro action cameras. The dancers act as both performers and directors, using “action camera choreography”, a multi-disciplinary movement & video practiced developed by the filmmaker over the last 6 years. FOCUS MACHINE offers an interpretation of Linda’s visual experience as a dancer experiencing visual and vestibular impairment.
Linda Ryan is a Brooklyn-based choreographer, facilitator, and arts researcher. She is currently an artist-in-residence in the BRIClab video art program. Her artistic work pulls from movement, video art, and immersive media to explore physical embodiment through digital means. Much of her artistic work deals with gaze and is oriented by, though not always explicitly about, her experiences as a visually impaired artist. Linda holds a BA in dance from the George Washington University, where she studied under Dana Tai Soon Burgess, Maida Withers, Anthony Gongora, and Matt Reeves. She previously completed residencies at PlySpace, Keshet Dance+ Center for the Arts, and the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University.
