Choreographies in the World of AI

The Memory, the Event, and the Technogenesis

Abstract

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is opening up new opportunities for the arts, including dance. Initially facilitating the practice of writing down dances, AI is now able to perform innovative choreographic tasks. Phenomenologists and technophilosophers have explored the potential benefits and drawbacks of the proliferation of this unpredictably fast-growing technology and have called for new ontological approaches, basing their AI philosophy on their knowledge and experience of real-world, corporeal dance, they have predicted the arrival of a new technogenetic era. This paper delves into these theories, providing a more detailed discussion of the innovative concept of technogenesis proposed by contemporary dance philosopher Erin Manning.
