NODE @ Resonate 2014
April 3rd – 6th
Belgrade, Serbia
“Choreographic Coding” Panel at http://resonate.io/2014/ hosted by NODE Forum for Digital Arts.
The terms choreography and coding both claim a process of creation, building a structure and authoring something in a way that can be perceived by an audience. Yet the collaboration between dancers and artists who use technology has often remained at a service-oriented level – as stage design or developing tools for improvisation.
On this panel, we want to investigate the potential for synergetic collaboration between creators, composers, or poets who use different languages – body, sound, image, or code. We want to decode the process of choreographic thinking and the question of authorship.
Florian Jenett will share his experiences with the dance world at The Motion Bank, a project of The Forsythe Company that has fueled the discourse between the dance world and digital artists, initiating large scale collaborative research. Peter Kirn will speak both from the perspective of a journalist covering performance technology and interactive design, and his own work with dancers as a composer and media artist. Choreographer Raphael Hillebrand and professional dancer and coder Christian Loclair will talk about challenges in their collaboration, and their approach to their tool Pathfinder.
.
Why should we collaborate, which formats can foster collaborative research at a visible level, and is there true meaning and impact for both coders and dancers in collaboration?
