MOVEMENTMACHINES
Movementmachines.org – a multimodal, user-centered web platform for dance shows different dance-choreographic working strategies. A team of dancers uses videos, photographs, text excerpts, interviews, dance notations and drawings to guide users through working and creative processes and encourage further processing by the users.

Movementmachines.org experiments with specific links between dance practices and today’s machines/media, but at the same time also calls up earlier constellations of mediality: Written formations of movement, visualisations of what is said, embodiments of symbolic arrangements of signs, mechanics of movement simulations, the air in movement, the sound of a breath. By means of the stimuli of old and new media on a digital surface, the project undermines the self-evident nature of contemporary media research, „exclusively researching contemporary or modern media“ (Kittler 2021), but also explicitly deals with digital gamification, the use of playful means and dynamics in contemporary dance practice.
