This piece was inspired by direct experience of hunters, the mountains, and animals. The blend of dance, video, and sound formulates a subtle experience. TAl's dance-step notations and the dancers' movements reconstruct the concealed movements and codes of hunters. For the imagery, algorithms from an Al graph engine induce spontaneous changes from within. Therefore, it heterologizes the dancer's physical performance and the hunter's original experience. This work reconstructs a decentralized perspective between the internal rendition of the image and the subjective posture of the body. Also, the audio has been processed to distort and defamiliarize as a response to listening to the connection between bodily experience and original state.
