Dance and Artificial Intelligence

x Mirevi | x vobe

Precious Camouflage is a performative dance piece by Charlotte Triebus exploring the collaboration of human dancers with artificial intelligence agents.

How will AI agents influence the body ?

"Precious Camouflage negotiates the boundary between a development with technology and a critique of it in a sophisticated and clever way. Images of hyper-idealized bodies appear on the screens, elsewhere pixelated ocean waves. An abstract language creates a futuristic atmosphere in which it remains unclear who is actually moving whom here - the human bodies the AI or vice versa?

"Fazit: Die Lücke zwischen Verstehen und Verkanntwerden hat man noch selten so deutlich vor Augen geführt bekommen.

Premiere

Featurette

Precious Camouflage is a large-scale study on movement and digital technology, inviting you to join reality entanglements and its distortions, to sense alien intimacy and the fine line between observation and surveillance. With Precious Camouflage we challenge the relationship between artistic dance work and intelligent systems as digital agents within a creative fabric. We thrive to understand how systems are trained to interpret human input and gradually try to set up communications between the systems to let them influence our artistic work.

Ethical Data

A branch of our research is dedicated to the ethical implications of the datasets used for training. Bias in the training data can result in discriminatory outcomes and affect marginalized communities. Copyright issues can arise if the data used is not properly licensed, leading to legal consequences. Transparency in the collection and usage of data is also important to maintain accountability and ensure that individuals understand how their data is being used. We seek to delve into the methods employed in the curation of datasets crafted for AI training, with a discerning eye.
