Ruth Gibson & Bruno Martelli have collaborated on experimental multimedia projects since 1995. They formed Igloo after the success of ‘Daylight Robbery’, a motion capture animation & ‘WindowsNinetyEight’, CdRom 1996-8, which was nominated for a BAFTA award in 2002.Their work explores metaphysical worlds using video, internet, performance & installation. Informed by contemporary dance practice, the body is the medium that drives the effects of multiple software & hardware use, which generate the screen based & live performance pieces. Recent works include ‘Winterspace’, installation/performance 2001-2003, which explores the use of digital technology to abstract the human body, it's movement, & it's senses using custom built software interfaces & responsive systems for performer & player, installation & DVD ‘Warstars’, 2002-2003 & performance ‘Viking Shoppers’, 2000.Their enquiry of interactive, 2D & 3D computer graphic media & process has consistently challenged the boundaries of digital imaging within the context of dance installation & live performance.
