"Fantastic diver" is the name of a film created in 1905 by the Aragon’s director Segundo de Chomón. This facility called Electric diver, uses fragments of the digitized footage to develop a series of projections that the viewer can be modified by interaction with a musical instrument, a theremin with which both generated sounds, also modulate creating a series of projections audiovisual piece variable.
Many early films created in the early twentieth century played with the experimentation of movement and assembly techniques faking. This is the case of the "Fantastic diver", who was conceived over 100 years ago as an exercise in motion capture where the director changed the direction of reproduction of their frames to create an illusion of its own technological age in which it was created. Electric diver provides a new interactive play system and introduces a soundtrack to the images, creating an exploration of the footage from reproduction contemporary possibilities of so-called new media and visual technologies that make them possible.
