Videodance piece as an "interface for the permanent preservation of a dancer".

Projected onto three screens set up on the floor of the exhibition space is video footage of a dancer moving after improvised choreographies. These images are roughly divided into five scenes that are switched according to visitors' movements in the space. The scenes are composed of short video sequences, whereas algorithmic combinations of these sequences make the same scene appear totally differently each time. Furthermore, the soundtrack for the piece was composed by Otomo Yoshihide based on the dancer's movements at the time of filming, and like the video images, the sound is played back in varying shifts.
