The Memory Machine | a TANZFONDS ERBE project

  • Installation
  • Tanz im August

The installation can be visited like a regular exhibition anytime between 17:00 until 22:00.

The Memory Machine re-views dance history from the 1980s to 2000 through eyewitness reports. The testimonies were collected in an associative way, and are playfully fed into a machine that imitates brain structures. Sensuously envision the history of contemporary dance!
