In February 2018, artist and programmer Daito Manabe wrote me an email with the subject “Dance x Math (ML)”, asking if I’d be interested in working on a new project with choreographer Mikiko and her high-tech dance troupe Elevenplay. I already had some background working in the context of dance in the past, including 3D scanning with choreographer Lisa Parra in 2010, Reactor for Awareness in Motion (RAM) with the Yamaguchi Centre for Arts and Motion (YCAM) in 2013, and a project called Transcranial with Daito and media artist-choreographer Klaus Obermaier in 2014 to 2015.
