During Rotterdam Art Week, artist and Butoh performer Honza Svasek brings a unique encounter between artificial intelligence and human expression to life. In a remarkable Butoh performance, an AI-generated choreography is performed. This work explores how dance and technology can merge to create a new movement language.  

Honza Svasek has developed a custom AI—the Butoh Choreographer—based on the movement language and philosophy of Tatsumi Hijikata, the founder of Butoh. Using this AI, he has created a choreography that will be performed live several times during the exhibition. The input for this Butoh choreography is based on a story by Anselme Alma Servain, adding an extra layer of depth to the work.  

Alongside the live performance, a video project, an initiative by Ula Naujokaityte, will be presented at Expo Kaapkwartier. 

This was filmed during the creation of the project and captures the process, collaboration, and interaction between the artists. 

Naujokaityte and Servain work with photography and video, using performance as a tool to explore the unconscious. Their work incorporates intuitive movement and self-portraiture to uncover deeper layers of the psyche. 

The combination of Butoh, AI, and visual art creates a unique experience in which human and machine merge in movement and imagery.  

Come discover how dance, media art, and technology can reinforce each other.
