Alisdair Macindoe is a Melbourne-based independent choreographer exploring the relationship between body, technology and environment. His works challenge and stimulate, pushing boundaries and pushing us to look at the world in a different way.
Generation Generation
Generation Generation experiments with giving agency to a computer in a performance scenario to reflect on the politics of technology and the power dynamics of human-computer relations. We developed a choreographic meta system, designing and then delegating a computer program to create 20-minute performances. The resulting event places a computer in the role of director, speaking directions and instructions that guide the dancers through an improvised performance. This social microcosm comments on how technology and ideals of efficiency affect the way we relate to each other, and how information is generated, disseminated, analysed and interpreted.
