Interconnected - A Choreorobotic Performance
The line from the human to the machine is often not visible. The energy and movement that drives communication does not start as a tangible connection but rather as an intangible force, an impulse, a spark of intention. It travels through pathways, transmitting signals and commands that shape our interactions with technology. This unseen thread weaves a tapestry of non-verbal understanding, where the boundaries between human and machine blur, creating a dance of shared purpose. In Interconnected, we explore this connection, unveiling the complexity and beauty of human-robot communication, and the binds to the machines we create. Interconnected is a 30-minute dance piece for three autonomous mobile robots and two humans. The performance will be followed by a Q&A about the work.
