Analivia Cordeiro, Cambiantes, 1976, Video still
Cambiantes (1976) is one of three computer dances for video, created by Analivia Cordeiro. It is a research on interaction between the human movement and video, using computer and programmed in Fortran IV language. Cambiantes is a high contrast, black&white video that redesigns the rectangular shape of the video monitor (or display) through geometric forms, as triangles, that penetrates the scene. Inside this space, the dancers move based on right angles and diagonals performed by the body. The sound is an electronic music by the Brazilian composer Raul do Valle.
