Rocking the Beat with Your Face
POSTED ON April 10th, 2009 BY CalvinEveryone knows that posture and persona are important in b-boying; there are b-boys who keep their faces completely blank, b-boys who never stop smiling, and b-boys who always just looked pissed. However, I’ve never seen anything like this before.
Above is a video from Daito Manabe, who uses electric currents to choreograph muscle movements–to music.
Click the jump for another video.
The stuff in these videos resemble popping more than b-boying, but it’s not difficult to imagine the possibilities of a technology that forces you move on beat. It’d be like having your own little machine that lets you rock beats like YNOT, except you wouldn’t be able to control when and how you rock beats. Okay, nevermind, it’d be nothing like dancing like YNOT.
Again, these videos beg the question: what would happen if someone were to do this at a jam?
