Dance and Technology Explore Bodily Boundaries
A 1998 article in artpress examines how choreographers and visual artists use performance to question the limits of the self and the body. The Quatuor Albrecht Knust revived Yvonne Rainer's Continuous Project Altered Daily, freeing artists from spectacular conventions to expose the body and fragment self and space. Suzanne Costel employs electronic prosthetics in her choreographic and technological works to explore the boundaries of selfhood. Merce Cunningham expands space in choreographies where the subject is omnipresent. Research by Meg Stuart and Gary Hill also delves into the frontiers of the skin.
