Project 404 (2022)

404 opens the world to itself.

Through multidisciplinary feedback loops, the audience and artists create a completely unique piece which redefines what generative art can be. We will blur the lines between human and machine, artificial and organic intelligence.

You, the participatory audience, send instructions to the dancers, their movements motivate the images they’re immersed in, which in turn shape the sounds that surround us all, which feedback back to the motion and movements. On, and in, and back through, this cycle continues, until we find the 404 error. What we are dealing with in these feedback loops is the eternal reflection of ourselves, and in 404, we seek to highlight the reflective and looping nature of humanity’s contemporary relationship to technology. We invite you to participate in an escalatory and surrealist experience with dance, acrobatics, electronic music and generative art.
