For years, HSIEH Chieh-hua has been questioning technology through the language of dance. A culmination of a series of HSIEH’s previous works, CyborgEros explores the definition of reality when one cannot tell human flesh from its digital extension. This piece allows both on-site and off-site audience to manipulate the dancers’ physical movements with software and even replace the dancers with audience’s own bodies. Different perspectives challenge the perception that seeing is believing and the distinction between the stage and audience is blurred.. The combination of virtual and in-person performance supported by enhanced AI recognition and algorithm technologies will give the audience a physical experience of the total chaos about to be unleashed by technology.
