I built a video game-style joystick system to control a human dancer pretending to be a robot. The system would transmit a graphic of the joystick moves and button presses to a covert electronic status display for the dancer to incorporate into physical dance moves. Carol Trindade performed as the dancer for @LoadingFestival in downtown Miami. To comply with COVID best practices, Carol was dancing inside of clear glass box while passers by would use the joystick which was located on the other side of the glass box.
