BODY DATA LOOP is a live performance and installation resulting from 3 years of artistic exchanges between choreographic and technology artists in Australia and Taiwan. The project is working to interrogate the value of collaboration across these disciplines, and to deepen the discourse while expanding the canon - of a third distinct artistic discipline.  These images are from the premiere performance season. The installation of BODY DATA LOOP will remain for the rest of the year at U108, National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts.   Artists: 田 子平 - TIAN Zi-Ping 李 明潔 - LEE Ming-Chieh Roslyn ORLANDO Nasim PATEL Creative Graphics: Liury LIU Spatial Sound Composer: DEAN Chi-You Sound Executive: SHYU Li-Hsin First Stage Sound Recording: WU Jia-Jiun, CHENG Yung-Hsin, HSIEH Hsien-Te Second Stage Sound Recording: The Mattmosphere Videographer: LI Yi-Cheng, Marbo WU, YANG Yao-Zhen Producer: WU Dar-Kuen, Agnes Michelet (for Critical Path) Dramaturg: M@ CORNELL Curator: M@ CORNELL, Cicia WANG Mentors: Eisa JOCSON, SU Yu-Hsin, Linda DEMENT, Stuart BUCHANAN, Angela GOH, Dr Josh HARL of Tactical Space Lab, Travis De VRIES, Sarah AIKEN, Alice WEBER, and Solomon THOMAS Project Manager: Cindy LIN Visual Graphic Design: CHEN Wan-Chi Photographer: David CHEN, Hank TSAI, Anpis WANG ...

As Lunar New Year celebrations take place, Critical Path @critical_path_ along with our friends and colleagues at Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab @clab.tw and the Cultural Division, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office (TECO) Sydney, are also celebrating being shortlisted for the Asia Pacific Arts Award - Innovation category - for our Physical Futures program, initiated and led by @themattcornell Unending thanks go to all the artists involved across the years and everyone else who threw their skills and talents behind this ambitious partnership! About the Physical Futures program: For the last 5 years Critical Path and @clab.tw C-LAB have been working together to interrogate choreographic technology. This included exchanging artists and curators, working from each other’s headquarters and premiering new experimental live, physical and digital, performance and installation works in both countries. The program extends to include our peers in other countries in the region, and an ongoing private wiki continues to archive the discourse of the artists and mentors - http://opentab.wiki More details about the multiple programs and scores of artists that this partnership has brought together can be found at this link: .au/programs/body-data-loop-taiwan-premiere-tour/ We thank our multiple other partners and funders along the way including Cultural Division, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office @tecosydney @bundanontrust @legsonthewall @sydneyoperahouse @creative.australia @performancespace @ntmofa_tw @taipeiartistvillage @tacticalspacelab @cityofsydney @goetheinstitut_australien and @creative.australia and more!

Sneek peek of first weeks in residency at the Rex Cramphorn studio creating a new work “BIO:MASS” - the 2nd in a trilogy of dance works led by M@ Cornell that centre our physical futures. BIO:MASS brings together choreography, cinema techniques and bio-material design, revealing yet-to-emerge but soon-to-be-necessary human physicalities. 🍃💃 💻🌿 M@ Cornell - Choreographer and performer @themattcornell Nasim Patel - Collaborator and performer @nasimulacrum Romain Hassanin - Collaborator and performer @ro_assassasa_nin Merinda Davies - Bio-material design @merinda_davies_ Solomon Thomas - Live Cinema and Exposition @solbthomas Chloe Ogilvie - Lighting and Physical Theatre outside eye @chloeogilvie Angela Goh - Dramaturg @ange_goh Eisa Jocson - Choreographic mentor @eisajocson And special thanks to @alltomorrowsfutures Ana Tiquia, @joshuathomson_ Joshua Thomson, @npingz Nicole Pingon This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.  This project is supported by @critical_path_ Critical Path, Center for Choreographic Research.

A few weeks ago I was one of the speakers at a press conference at the DOME 2.0 venue at CLAB in Taipei city, Taiwan. The press conference was to launch the Future Media Fest "Singularity - 奇異點". I had the chance to share the last 3 years of efforts and friendship between @clab.tw and @critical_path_ and the artists as the centre of this years touring and staging of choreographic research - @tian_ziping_ @mingchieh_lee @nasimulacrum roslyn__orlando This week we will open BODY DATA LOOP at the National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts in Taichung.

#repost Who is this Australian working at @clab.tw ? ‣ Choreography and future technology, physical and digital combination ‣ Ongoing Taiwan and Australia multiyear exchange program! #人物訪談 @themattmosphere Matt Cornell - “2022-ongoing TAIWAN-AUSTRALIA CHOREOGRAPHY/TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE PROGRAM” host, digital artist/curator from “Critical Path” - Centre for Choreography Research and Development in Sydney. 2022-ongoing TAIWAN AND AUSTRALIA CHOREOGRAPHY/TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE PROGRAM Taiwan Contemporary Culture Laboratory is co-hosted with Sydney’s Critical Path and the Cultural Division of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Sydney to enable Taiwanese and Australian future media artists and choreographers to experiment in scientific and technological arts, and performing arts, as well as share resources to help artists explore the future possibilities of physical and embodied future. This program allows choreographic focused artists to explore choreography as a technology, its reshaping of the individual and social body, and the reshaping of shared culture and space. Choreographic focused artists are particularly well placed to interrogate the fallout of our chronic digital condition on the body, togetherness, and community. It is not technological breakthrough alone but the cultural innovation leveraging these new possibilities that shape the world. Choreography is advanced through this partnership by considered and playful mis-use of the tools of our time. Not to replace but to expand the body, to augment our reach and ability to connect, to deepen discourse through friendship, to re-enchant digital apparatus, and to rigorously interrogate “digital” as our dominant cultural metaphor, since even a “digital future” will also be a physical one. 在C-LAB工作的這位外國人是誰？ ‣ 編舞與未來科技，現實與數位結合 ‣ 正在進行中的跨國藝術交流計劃！ 麥特．科內爾：「2022 - ongoing 臺澳舞蹈創作交流計畫」計畫主持人、雪梨編舞研究與發展中心「Critical Path 關鍵路徑」策展人 臺灣當代文化實驗場與雪梨「關鍵路徑」共同舉辦，期望促進臺灣及澳洲創作者間的交流，推動科技藝術與表演藝術的實驗，整合資源，協助藝術家探索身體藝術的未來可能。 本計劃讓舞蹈藝術家探索數位科技對身體的影響，重塑文化及時空。同時，數位科技藝術家亦可通過合作，更廣泛地利用數位工具，拓展身體、增強連結、深化對話。在重新詮釋科技的同時，質疑「數位」作為主導文化的象徵，共同推動跨領域發展。 ❝ 本計劃將於2024年11月進行演出❞ #CLAB #CRITICALPATH #CHOREOGRAPHY #DIGITAL

This is M@ Cornell (@themattmosphere )! M@ is currently in residency at Testing Grounds as part of an All School EXCHANGE – a program designed to bring artists together from across different states and territories to share practice and ideas. His studio practice involves loud music and dancing - dancing being the medium he uses to deal with his career-long question - "What is what we're doing, doing back to us?". Through dancing with others, physicalities are born. These physicalities become a basis for sci-fi worlding, and these worlds give a context for the construction of choreography. He is passionate about building new works through collaboration across our home archipelago, and across forms, prioritising the working and iteration of materials directly (rather than via description or other proxies) towards epiphany. His practise involves specifying context and giving special consideration to human-machine interfaces, especially how they write themselves back into human bodies (and thinking) with each use. Since 2022 馬特 has regularly worked from C-LAB (臺灣當代文化實驗場) in Taipei as a curator interrogating choreography as a technology. M@ was involved in the (2023) Sydney Opera House digital festival, delivering a panel titled “Where is the body? What is the Venue?” and hosting a discussion on digital choreography. Matt also authored the curatorial framework for digital programming at Next Wave titled “Beyond Post-Digital” (2021). Throughout the residency, M@ will dance, building Sci-Fi choreographies and texts through his speculative-physical-futuring process. Nasim Patel (@nasimulacrum ) will join M@ in the studio for dancing. Antony Hamilton will also join M@ in the studio with a focus on methods and case studies of choreographic construction. 📷 3: Iris Shen ___ Image descriptions: ID1: Matt Cornell wears a black collared shirt with a bubble tea broach.

We’ll be in residence together, and seperately, at @testinggrounds , in a Venn diagram kind of overlap, working through shared interests of tropical Australia’s home within the Malay archipelago, our perpetually uncentered equator, and multi-generational experience of produce growers and transporters. We’ll also be exchanging with local artists Antony Hamilton, @nasimulacrum Nasim Patel and James Nguyen respectively. I’m open to studio visits or receiving related memes - DM me ! 🕺
