SCREENINGThe official premiere of four new projects created through the DANCE MOViES Commission, the only major program in the U.S. to support new works that fuse dance with the technologies of the moving image. These projects represent the second round of this commission and encompass a single-channel video installation made from animated 3-D scans of a dancer and three dance films spanning the gamut from Depression-era musical, to love story, to dancing full throttle through city streets. The screening is followed by an open discussion with the artists.

$110 / $55Artist and artificial intelligence researcher Marc Downie refers to FIELD not as software, but as an open-source programming environment. Its power and versatility may make it the most radical development in the digital arts since Max/MSP/Jitter.

And gearheads (or code-heads) will get the chance to start navigating in FIELD during an immersive two-day workshop.
