The choreography we all dance to

Trip Hazard is a public intervention piece, which focuses on the inadvertent actions of the general public and the consequences that unravel from these actions. Creator Nic Sandiland uses digital installations to translate how everyday movements of the viewer come together in a choreographic context, that of “cause and effect”. The video shows people walking past a projection of a person (sometimes several people) superimposed on the side of a building. As passers-by move along, they unintentionally “trip” the image triggering a new series of events, in which the observer start to interact with the projection. Sandiland strove to illustrate the momentum between our physical environment and the digital space.

Nic Sandiland is the co-founder of Flexer & Sandiland, a company which stands at the forefront of British dance and digital art.
