Business Overview

Rhizomatiks Research and ELEVENPLAY have gained worldwide attention for their innovative ideas and high degree of perfection, incorporating an approach from the perspective of installation and media art into dance expression as a performing art. Both were joined by US media artist and researcher Kyle MacDonald, and their latest collaborative dance performance piece is "discrete figures". This is a stage work that brings body expression and mathematics closer together, and pursues the relationship between the physical body and the movement expression of body images and actions created through mathematical analysis. Furthermore, by building a new exploration of movement through drones, AI, and machine learning, it is a truly challenging new attempt to create an unknown expression of dance that goes beyond human subjectivity and emotional expression.
