Dance improvisation with 2 dancers, 2 cube costumes, and 1 cube robot, performing a radically
entangled world, each iteration anew. The performance installation is the artistic outcome of a research project (FWF AR 545)
that seeks to trouble and expand our relationships with machines.
Bodies and
things are inherently relational and porous, always ready to be reconfigured and entangled. The work seeks to materialize
the proposition of a more horizontal playground for dancing with machines, requiring us to get entangled and resonate with
them. It means collapsing the distance between subjects and objects, stretching and opening up the boundaries between them,
exploring the spaces in-between, and extending tentacles into other boundary spaces. Getting entangled, the diffractive way,
Dancing with the Nonhuman [VIE-2-2-1] activates a hybrid playground for rendering boundaries elastic and differences relational.
