Artist Statement (Artist Talk)

DANSE VERSUS TECHNOLOGIES, CENTRE NATIONAL DE LA DANSE

Australian artist, Stelarc defines himself as a performer, exploring farther than a specific style or genre, some of the limits of corporeality. He will focus on his artistic path, discussing particularly his main preoccupations in his work: presence and telepresence, states of the body, the process of elaboration of the gesture, relationships between body and technologies, and crossovers between bodies and machines.

This encounter will be introduced by Armando Menicacci and Emanuele Quinz (Anomos association).

Organized by the Department for the Development of Dance Culture of the CND, in collaboration with the Anomos association.
