Ed Atkins in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist - Performance Capture - MIF15

Artist Ed Atkins & curator, Hans Ulrich Obrist in conversation at Manchester Art Gallery. They discuss the key concepts behind MIF15 exhibition Performance Capture whilst wearing facial capture software, Faceshift.

Held at Manchester Art Gallery and one of the highlights of MIF15, Ed Atkins' remarkable Performance Capture was a unique musing on digital culture and identity, for which the artist captured the words and movements of more than 100 performers to create a computer-generated avatar. During the Festival, Ed sat down for a fascinating conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist, Co-Director of the Serpentine Galleries and an MIF Artistic Advisor.
