The Anti-Algorithm
Katja Heitmann |
We design ourselves. We summarise ourselves in models. Until there are no more questions left. But can we really clip away at our humanity until we are nothing but a collection of data or an authoritative algorithm?
The work of choreographer Katja Heitmann [1987] intercuts dance with visual art, performance art and installation art. The Anti-Algorithm is a choreographic TED-talk featuring dancers, music and philosophical texts. The performance is part of Katja’s three-year project RealReality® in which she is going in search of the algorithm of human movement.
In 2016 Katja won the de Prize of the Dutch Dance Festival. Her work is characterised by a sharp contrast between a pointed aesthetics and human fallibility. Her images are radically minimalist and hyper-designed.
