Visceral Histories, Visual Arguments: Dance-Based Approaches to Data
Nicola was creative technologist in a research project that explores immersive technologies for dance practice. The project focuses on immersive data visualisations of dance histories, but also the complexities of using machine learning techniques to extract motion data from archival dance footage. The project used a data-driven approach that is tailored to the medium of dance to transform the use of digital tools to evidence and elaborate the historical study of embodied knowledge more broadly.
Visceral Histories, Visual Arguments: Dance-Based Approaches to Data is an initiative under the co-direction of Kate Elswit (with support from a Research Development and Engagement Fellowship from the Arts and Humanities Research Council) and Harmony Bench (with support from OSU’s Global Arts and Humanities Society of Fellows).
