Spheres is an artistic research at the intersection of dance, robotics and agency. The installation explores dialogues between humans and technology, transforming movement across bodies through interaction, approach, and coincidence.
Can performers, audience and technology interact with each other in a symbiotic manner?
In a 30-minute performance, the dancers interact with the spheres through their movement and positioning. During this time, the spheres and the performers debate with each other and develop a shared form of communication and interaction. For the performers, the artist designed distinctive movement sequences, which she calls ‘poses’. These are inspired by several native calibration gestures. Movement, interaction, and communication of the spheres are based on different swarm principles that were implemented by means of several algorithms and various sensors. This results in a graphic and explorative study on movement, communication, and agency.
Modes of existence are always plural and relational, existence can be found not only in beings, but between them.
