The Dance reveals how art & technology are forever engaged in a push/pull dialog that advances creative enterprise. Scientists and engineers learn from artists while artists use new technologies in unexpected ways. A choreographer/engineer teaches robots to dance. A robot enables neurologically challenged children to paint. A physicist

From the pencil to computer algorithms, early cartoons to videogames, and a 350-year-old Stradivarius to AI-generated sounds, since the beginning technological innovation has advanced the story of art. We’ll visit the Louvre and cutting-edge artists’ ateliers, go behind the scenes with leading video game designers, and hear how ancient

It’s not only what we make. It’s the materials we make it with that turns stuff into art. Glass is forged into playable cymbals. An array of found objects become breathtaking sculpture. Banana leaves are transformed into fabric for the haute couture runway. Immunofluorescence turns microorganisms into artworks.
