Moving or Being Moved
Vimeo
Post-modern dance theory by Trisha Brown and Yvonne Rainer is put to work while a woman cleans the house in a motion capture suit. The everyday performance of domestic labor is teleported into a surreal game world where an emotionally responsive AI chatbot provides no answers. In this gaming/ special effects world, movement has become a data set removed from the human body. What happens to movement when it is divorced from affect and feeling? What happens to dance without embodiment? How does mood and emotion influence movement?
