ABSTRACT

The virtual dance collaborations I’ve been involved with have triggered unexpectedly intense interest not only in the dance and computer fields, but also in the popular press.1 People have the sense that the intersection of art and technology is now particularly important, especially when their point of overlap is the body. As a result, I’ve been invited to a lot of conferences, where my goal has been to wave off any mystification that might obscure the work. If there is going to be any mystery here, let it be in the art itself, not in its technical realization or in vague theoretical formulations taking off from it.
