How could we be moved with all this data and technology around? Could science emphasize the awareness of our physicality, could it be translated into a dance language or choreographies and could it be systematized as a participatory installation? We are about to find out. The Field is an ongoing study of dance as a phenomenon in a scientific context, combining artistic, scientific, and personal interests. The main premise is to use technology as a motivation to move in a way we didn’t do before, learning about how could technology move our bodies (not only our fingers). The idea is to present dance as artistic research while combining it with scientific feedback, with a special focus on experimentation, playfulness, openness, and acceptance of our dance-tech outcomes. Marko Milić (artist working in the field of dance and multimedia) and Uroš Krčadinac (computer scientist, artist, writer, and educator) aim to collaborate for the first time on the expansive topic of how AI could enable us to move.
