Activity: Participating in or organising an event › Participation in conference
For Digital Echoes 2017, we want to turn our attention to the generation, uses and distribution of digital dance data, asking critical questions stemming from the re-forming and re-contextualisation of dance through digitisation, about its effect on the ontology, form and potentials of dance (and data), about dance digitisation as an emergent practice and what it may mean for future artistic and academic endeavours, for spectatorship, education and disciplinary exchange. The event will include presentations from Maaike Bleeker and Scott deLahunta, and the UK launch of Bleeker’s edited collection Transmission in Motion: The Technologizing of Dance. Recently published by Routledge, Transmission in Motion takes several specific dance digitisation projects as a starting point for further scholarly reflection.
