InfoMus Lab, founded in 1984, carries out scientific and technological research, development of multimedia systems, multimodal human-computer interfaces, and applications.
A main research focus is on the understanding and development of computational models of non-verbal expressive and social behavior.
Cross-fertilisation of scientific, humanistic, and artistic theories characterize the research methodology.
From 1997 to 2004 InfoMus Lab had a contract with the Genoa Opera House - Teatro Carlo Felice which included a lab site at the theatre and joint activities.
Since 2005, InfoMus Lab has its new premises in the recently restored monumental building of S.Maria delle Grazie La Nuova - Casa Paganini.
The International Research Centre Casa Paganini - InfoMus participates in many international projects
on scientific research and education, develops multimedia systems, platforms, and applications for industry partners (e.g., INTEL),
and participates in artistic productions and museum projects where systems and research results are applied and validated.
Casa Paganini - InfoMus studies new directions in scientific and technological research to improve quality of life
(e.g., independent living, therapy and rehabilitation, leisure, sport, edutainment), to develop novel industrial applications and services
(e.g., innovative interfaces and multimedia applications), to music industry and education, dance and theatre, cultural heritage
(e.g., museography, support cultural heritage by means of novel user-centric media technologies).
The multimedia software platform EyesWeb, conceived, designed, and developed by Casa Paganini - InfoMus,
is adopted by thousands of users worldwide for scientific research, education, and industry applications.
EyesWeb was selected by INTEL in 2008 for their hardware for "independent living".

EnTimeMent Markerless Motion Capture Campaign
8-19 November 2021, Casa Paganini-InfoMus, DIBRIS, University of Genoa
EnTimeMent aims to design innovative sensitive and interactive technologies enabling the automated prediction and analysis of human movement qualities,
entrainment, non-verbal full-body social emotions, towards the foundation and consolidation of a radically new motion analysis technology.
The EnTimeMent Markerless Motion Capture Campaign consists of a 2-week series of feasibility studies
and experiments investigating the recent innovative mocap technology by Qualisys and the novel techniques
for movement analysis and prediction developed by the EnTimeMent Consortium.
In collaboration with Liat Grayver, Yair Kira and Amir Shpilman
Awarded the first DAGESH Art Prize, Jewish Museum Berlin 2019
"Open, Closed, Open" is a multimedia installation that explores a multitude
of perceptual positions realized as a result of the continual movement of organic materials.
Sand, light and human voice are shaped by a layer
of technological interventions that impose varying degrees of control
and predetermined roles upon both themselves and the resulting response of the materials.

Myselves
from matos jean-marc, holst anne
An interactive choreographic performance,
stages a dialog between a dancer and her multiple selves,
embodied in an autonomous and unpredictable visual and aural creature,
which emanates from her psyche as interpreted by optical and body sensors.

Europa: Gesture of History - Dancing Science and Art not to forget EU identity"
Europa:Gesture of History, is a scientific performance in Rome (March 23th 2017).
This performance took place in occasion of the dinner at the celebration of the Treaty of Rome, at “La Lanterna” in Rome, on invitation by the EU DG Connect.
The objective was to tell metaphorically the narration of the birth and evolution of Europe by means of a short choreographic action, enhanced by an interactive sonification amplifying the qualities of dancer’s movement.
