An interactive installation that explores children’s natural movements and the structured choreography and social patterns they create when at play. Using motion-capture, artificial intelligence, and synthetic characters, the installation reacts in direct response to participants.

Paul Kaiser, a Guggenheim Fellow, has taught at several universities and been an artist-in-residence around the country, showing work at Lincoln Center, MASS MoCA, the Pompidou Center, the Whitney Museum, the Barbican Centre, and many other venues. His early art (1975-81) was in experimental filmmaking and writing for recorded voice. He then spent ten years teaching students with severe learning disabilities, with whom he collaborated in making multimedia art. He and Shelley Eshkar have worked together for eleven years, and are known for their digital dance works with choreographers such as Bill T. Jones and Merce Cunningham. They recently co-founded (with digital artist Marc Downie) The OpenEnded Group.
