Motion Disabled

'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
