Embodying the Artificial: Dance and Human–AI Co-creativity
Autor Diego Marin-Bucioen Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 dec 2026
Embodying the Artificial examines how dance creation unfolds in dialogue with generative AI and related technologies. Grounded in ethnographic research, the book focuses on the kinesthetic dimensions of human-AI interaction to explore how generative systems reshape the creation and performance of dance. Through analyses of choreographic practices involving AI avatars and other intelligent technologies, the author interrogates the ontological, epistemological, and ethical questions that arise when machines become creative partners, challenging established notions of dance, embodiment, and creativity.
Bridging theory and practice, this research offers conceptual and methodological foundations for understanding human-AI interaction in dance. It introduces a clear framework for categorizing interdisciplinary creative processes with various kinds of machines and provides choreographers and movement artists with tools to navigate, design, and reflect on co-creative processes with artificial agents.
