Point A to B

Parkour: the urban sport in which getting from point A to point B as rapidly, as inventively, and often as dangerously as possible is the goal.

Openended Group's latest artwork captures the essential movements, physics, and purposes of parkour into a purely abstract and ever-shifting virtual architecture derived from the traceurs themselves. Using 32 optical motion-capture cameras and 2 high-definition video cameras, the imagery is generated by a custom-made 3D renderer and shown on two screens, set perpendicularly to each other.

The project was developed with Blue (aka Paul Joseph) from the UK-based Urban Freeflow and Exo (aka Exousia Pierce) from NY Parkour.
