Exo Gestus #2 is an experimental animation exploring the way that motion capture sensors incorrectly track my body. It is an amalgamation of the glitches that occur from tracking my movements while wearing a MOCAP suit that is too big for my body. The suit is designed for a bigger body than mine. My body is too small even for the smallest size that the company makes – pointing to the way that small bodies are not accounted for in the tech industry. Because of this, my body size by default creates glitches within the MOCAP data tracks. Rather than correct it, I embrace the glitches of a body that cannot be fully captured. I embrace the glitches and dance for the sensors.
