In a rapidly changing world, where technological breakthrough and Artificial Intelligence reshape our reference points, Body Sequencer offers a poetical and reassuring read of our future. A meeting between a visual artist and a dancer-choreographer created the opportunity for a dialogue between bodies and machines, reality and virtuality, humanity and AI, shared here in an interactive and sensorial performance.
Together, they compose a “cyber cosmos”, crossed by luminous beams, sonic textures and floating shapes, creating a sensorial continuum between reality and virtuality.
In Body Sequencer, the body becomes an interface: disguised prosthesis, extensions moved by one’s thoughts, surfaces able to absorb or broadcast. Spaces blurring the lines between living and mechanical matters.
