Myron Kreuger, a pioneer of VR, who created computer controlled interactive
environments beginning in the early 1970s, and the A-Life work of
multimedia artists Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau. Neither is

Hello,
I have done some experiments in this field, with a real dancer and an
artificial creature that learned the dancer's movements, using a
camera. With the bias that the creature was not humanoid, but looked
and behaved more like a cloud.

Also, I have done some pieces, not designed for performance, but as
autonomous pieces. Humanoid (or at least, having a "real" body):

I think that autonomous artificial entities are a very rich and
underexplored aspect of dance, and I would really much like to find
someone, on the dance side, ready to work on a real project around
this with me.
Thank you,
Antoine
