The Moshi Project
Mikey Disko, Marpi, and Can Buyukberber premiered this Dance+Code creation at the Future Fires 2017 Launch in SF. It’s been performed several time since, including at Microsoft’s “Envision” event in Orlando, right after Hurricane Maria. A splice of motion-capture tech and hip-hop, the Moshi Project reps this vital part of Bay Area culture in a fresh setting, joining movement to luminous, generative visuals, responsive in real time to the dancers onstage.
Mikey Disko is a San Francisco-based freestyle hip-hop dancer, active and contributing to the culture since 1991. His evolving style is a combination of 90’s hip-hop, strutting, locking, b-boy top rock, popping and house foundation. He has performed in over 35 countries, and has been seen on Soul Train as well as music videos with Snoop Dogg and Souls of Mischief.
The “Next Gen” Moshi Project rolls out in Spring, 2019. The new version is for two dancers (including Mikey Disko), new music tracks, and new visuals by Oakland-based digital artist David Ostro. Duration: 20 min’s
