As a virtual assistant, Artificial Intelligence takes decisions of our everyday life. Can AI also help to create art?

MIRA 11_shift explores the interplay between humans and technology in dance. Movement suggestions from an application developed for and with MIRA are at the center of the choreographic process. Contrasts between personal and anonymous, dispossessing and appropriating, and humanly inhuman are explored in a performance in which the dancers’ physicality is juxtaposed with the infinite possibilities of AI. In a unified language of movement, the individual is thus manifested in detail.
