The Intersection of Choreography and Technology
Throughout the ages, pioneers of art, guided inwardly by the need for knowledge and development, have pushed the boundaries of possibility and imagination towards evolution. The field of choreography is no stranger to artists who have dedicated their entire activity to discovering new ways of creating choreography and performance in a spectacular manner. The new forms of performance that emerged mainly at the beginning of the 20th century and up to the present day have meet digital art. Artists from all over the world conceive new experimental contexts in a transcendental space. In this research I aim to highlight the early moment of the intersection between dance and technology, the influence of artificial intelligence on choreographic performances and what the benefits might be, without altering human existence. We are currently witnessing a technological evolution in the arts, of which choreographic artists are aware, exploring the corporeal dimension by introducing technology into choreographic creations. It is fascinating to see the way the artists manage to build their choreography through the dancer's body, but also through algorithms generated by artificial intelligence. Although AI was originally introduced into choreography to streamline dance notation, it is now used to create innovative choreography. By analysing the material available in the field, it becomes obvious that one of the benefits of AI is that it archives and preserves all the artist's research. As an emerging technology, however, I believe it is important not to highlight technology at the expense of the human.
