CollaborationInstigated in 1994, Bodycoder is the brain-child of Mark and Julie Bokowiec. The Bodycoder is a powerful and unique interactive performance system centring on the body and the live and gestural manipulation of sound, sound processing and sometimes image manipulation through live interaction with a range of technologies. Our work is sonically immersive and visually theatrical.

EnvironmentOur work is largely made in response to the environments in which we find ourselves enmeshed. We are drawn to untamed places, ancient landscapes and deep cultural practices, finding synergies and conversations between ecologies, native species ontologies and our cyborg process.
Many of our recent works have been made in residencies in Greece, others in Iceland, PEI Nova Scotia, Northern Canada and the Netherlands. Our home studio is in the county of Yorkshire in the North of England. |
PerformanceWe regularly present work at international festival and digital arts venues; in galleries, concert halls and in site-specific environments. Our work is sonically immersive (we use a surround, multi-channel speaker system) and highly theatrical. We foreground performance and the aesthetic language of interaction, rather than the technological means that underpin our practice.
