Devolution - Robots and Humans Share the Stage
Australian Dance Theatre (ADT) is premiering today its newest work, "Devolution," at the Adelaide Arts Festival in Sydney, Australia. Artistic Director Garry Stewart collaborated with machine designer Louis-Philippe Demers to create a performance that puts dancers and robots on the same stage on an equal footing.
I wish I could find some good pictures of what these dancing robots look like. Short of that, here are some articles and interviews about the performance:
- Interview in RealTime with Garry Stewart about his thoughts on dance and robotics
- "Closing the Gap Between Man and Machine," in The Age
- "Danger! Machines in motion," in Thee Advertiser
