TECHNOLOGICAL DANCES : ALICE ANDERSON

Anderson's work combines ancestral cultures with contemporary transhumanism. Her work includes sculptures, paintings and drawings, initiated by dance-performance, which brings together psychosomatic organs (the human body) and artificial organs (tools, technological objects, technical supports). Anderson's approach presents a way of questioning the world in the face of dazzling and complex computational development which, beyond these ingenuities, affects the environment and the living. For Anderson, the ecological challenge is not to deny these transformational technologies (whether in the service of human augmentation or threatening human societies), but to challenge the relationships between humans, nonhumans and machines through dance-performance.
