Motion Disabled

Tangled group of figures

 

'Motion Disabled' is a digital exploration of the bodies - the biological pathologies - of people who are physically different. The work uses motion capture and 3D animation to create a kinetic connection with the human form - beautiful everyday, virtual movements highlighting all the intricacies and uniqueness of each person's physicality.

Ten disabled actors had their movements recorded and their physical signatures captured in 3D forever. The work enables viewers to engage and explore ideas of normality and difference.

At a time where bioscience is allowing society to make more genetic choices, the artist asks: "Is the future of disability virtual?"

“I urge you to go to see the artist Simon McKeown's elaborate start-of-the-art installation called Motion Disabled.” Ken Russell, The Times, January 27 2009
