Floating Bones gives name to a group of investigations related with the aesthetic meaning of data obtained from body. Continued from the previous artwork Langpath -- a sculpture in movement translates motion capture data files in BVH (The BioVision Hierachy) format between 4 servers distributed in the North and South Hemisphere, Solimán López collaborates with Fito Segrera during his short-term residency at Chronus Art Center, developing on the project “Floating Bones” with the new recordings of data and its transcription in digital art.
