Open Machine imagines an artificial intelligence lovingly programmed through experimental dance. The work brings together body-tracking, live speech‑to‑text transcription and conjured images that react to the unfolding performance, blurring the lines between brain, body, and machine. As dancers navigate the stage with precision and abandon, the piece reflects the social and spatial structures that shape daily life.
