“Time Machine” is a room-scale, immersive installation that was made in a class called “Bodies in Motion” which pairs students from NYU Tandon’s Integrated Digital Media (IDM) program with students from Tisch’s Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) to explore cutting-edge motion capture technology.
“Time Machine” examines human movement from the1920s up until the Future and tells the narrative that humans are moving closer to machines through technological dependence. By interacting with crystal balls that triggered time travel, “Time Machine” takes the audience to three different time periods in Times Square: The past, the present and the future where a small dance performance from each period comes to life.
