Precious Camouflage - A Dance Performance Interweaving Human Movement and Artificial Intelligence
Article No.: 49, Pages 1 - 4
Abstract
This paper presents the layout created for Precious Camouflage, a dance performance that entangles human movement and artificial intelligence (AI) in a museal space. The performance, which features four dancers and five AI systems, challenges traditional notions of performance and authorship, and serves as a reflection on the rapid development of digital technologies and their societal implications. This is done by staging different kinds of agency in a communicative setup and a mesh of interactions accompanied by extended research on ethical questions with a focus point on bodies in datasets. In this paper we present the research to develop the piece. Background information and the recorded performance can be found at http://www.precious.dance.
