Following issue 1 concerning the various steps From Body to
Avatar, anomalie wanted to face the notion of the interface within
the frame of the reconfiguration digital technologies are bringing
about in the field of artistic creativity. The initial project
involved one sole issue on interfaces, which would both analyze
interface applications in relation to performing arts and present a
series of critical extensions and theoretical positions. After many
months under construction, that ambitious research project will
finally give rise to this second issue on DIGITAL PERFORMANCE and to
the upcoming third issue on INTERFACE THEORY.
Exploring the consequences of the use of digital interfaces in the
context of performances is at the heart of a wider research strategy,
which has led anomos to the organization of numerous conferences -
Danza & Nuove Tecnologie (Bolzano, 1999), Movimenti Sensibili (Roma,
2000), Nouvelles Interfaces pour la Danse (Paris, 2000) - and to a
collective volume La Scena Digitale (Venezia Marsilio, 2000). The
recent foundation of the MediaDanse Lab, realized thanks to a
agreement between anomos and the Dance Department of the Paris 8
University, is also part of that strategy.
The first section of anomalie n.2 takes up the proceedings of the New
Interfaces for Dance session that anomos organized within the frame
of the ISEA 2000 (International Symposium on Electronic Art:
http://www.isea2000.com). The purpose of that session was to present
some examples of interactive digital devices opening up new
perspectives for the world of dancing.
The second part explores the relations between performing arts (not
only dance) and digital interfaces.

anomalie digital_arts is an international magazine taking the shape
of a periodic collection of thematical books. These works are made
under the direction of Anomos members each time different together
with a great number of international collaborators ; they tackle a
plurality of themes dealing with the relationships between the arts
(in the plural) and digital technologies.
The publication of Anomalie fits in the strategy of the cultural
association Anomos which revolves around three main aspects :
research, creation, distribution.
The goal of Anomos-founded in Italy in 1996 and in France in 1998-is
to develop and promote research about the new configuration of the
arts system, with the rise of the new digital technologies,
considering both the developement of languages and of creation
devices, together with the theoretical evolutions that trigger it or
derive from it.
To explore and to question digital arts, the diversity of courses
(itineraries) the multiplicity of perspectives and positions, to draw
the map of the new territories that digital technologies open : these
are Anomalie's purposes.and because these territories are building up
on the crossing of techniques, language hybridation, cotamination and
overlapping, so approaches too have to be multiple and
interdisciplinary.
Anomalie is not only a fundamental research and diffusion tool, it is
also an occasion for exchange and experimentation.
