Our interdisciplinary group seeks to know how we communicate with a space, how we connect into it, and how we and a space reshape each other using interactive video, spatialized sound, site-‐specific installation and performing art idioms.
Eunsu Kang is an international media artist from Korea. She is currently an Assistant Professor of New Media Art at the University of Akron in Ohio, USA.
Diana García‐Snyder is interested in the synthesis and integration of butoh dance, somatic practices, collaboration and community building techniques, Eastern and Western spirituality, and neuropsychology research.
Donald Craig earned is DMA in Music Composition from the University of Washington in 2009.

Abstract
Our group’s goal is to make an interactive space that functions simultaneously as both an interactive dance venue for a professional dancer and a place for the general audience member who becomes a participant upon walking into the space.
This paper will introduce three interactive spaces; Fluid Cave, Membranes and Shin’m 2.0, the technical features common to all of them, how the installation scheme and audiovisual content of the works create three unique but related experiences, and how the dance is choreographed using them as independent but related domains.
