At a time when the inventions and developments of digital technologies are evolving exponentially, Danse et nouvelles technologies explores the different approaches and reactions of artists, dancers and choreographers to the inventions and developments of digital technologies.

What is the contribution of these new means of communication? What are the advantages of computer tools in creation? What changes do these new technologies bring? What do these new means of “re-presentation” bring to our perception and vision?

The history and current panorama of this technological dance, developed in particular by Scott deLahunta and Sally Jane Norman, are presented. We look at the reflections of artists such as Stelarc, Merce Cunningham, William Forsythe and Susan Kozel. We move between virtual reality, the Internet, telepresence and CD-Rom.
