Daito Manabe is a multifaceted creator: composer, programmer, designer, DJ, and VJ, and founder of the Rhizomatiks studio. His work reflects on the interaction between our bodies and technological advances, and the possible hybrids between man and machine to generate new possibilities for technical and artistic expression. He has received numerous awards and recognition and is highly respected by both the creative and technological communities. In this session, Daito Manabe and choreographer and dancer MIKIKO—director of the ELEVENPLAY company— will present some of their work, in which dance and technology create new forms of expression. The session will take place in the Museum Theater and will alternate between video screenings showing the creations and explanations by the artists. Simultaneous Japanese-Spanish translation will be provided. Among the works on display are two clips produced with American producer Nosaj Thing—Eclipse/Blue(2012) andCold Stares(2015)—and three interactive shows produced by the Rhizomatiks studio and the ELEVENPLAY dance company. The works combine contemporary dance, lighting design, drones, video mapping, and algorithmic image generation. |
