TeleMotions
TeleMotions was an experimental telepresence performance project developed by the Qualcomm Institute (UCSD). The project functioned as an inquiry into networked collaboration, utilizing high-bandwidth optical networks to facilitate real-time, distributed performances between remote participants. By connecting physically separated performers through immersive media environments, TeleMotions sought to challenge traditional notions of "presence" and "place," creating a shared virtual stage where movement and sound could interact without geographical constraints.
In my role as Technical Director at the lab, I managed the complex infrastructure required for such high-stakes, real-time media systems. This involved coordinating the logistical planning, latency management, and fault-tolerant network architecture necessary to ensure that human intuition and algorithmic logic could coexist seamlessly across a distributed network.
About Todd
My research represents a formal inquiry into the friction between users and data. By architecting novel hardware and algorithms, these projects establish new benchmarks for how we visualize and interact with massive, multi-dimensional datasets.
