This document discusses the research of Ivani Santana into telematic dance and networked art performance over the past eight years. Some key points: - Santana has been exploring dance mediated through technology since the 1990s and telematic dance (dance performed remotely between locations using telecommunications) since 2001. - Major works include the first telematic dance in Brazil in 2005 called VERSUS, performed between three cities. - Since 2005, Santana's work has been supported by the Brazilian NREN (National Research and Education Network) and involved technical partners. - Current post-doctoral research at Queen's University of Belfast focuses on developing a "telematic dramaturgy" understanding the body

My research in dance since 90’s:
“body image displacement” to discuss presence,
reality, identity, time, space etc; telematic was a
coherent way to follow.

body understood as a sonorous body:
s/he has her/his own sonofication:

The goal:
investigate the possible relationships between
“sonorities” produced by remote bodies
– the tele-sonorous bodies –
into sensible environments in order to construct a
Telematic Dramaturgy.

CONCLUSION: Hawaii
_ Art promotes new demands, and it gives new ideas for artists and
engineers at telematic context
(IMPORTANT: artists and engineers have to work together;
_ The networked performance has a specific way to create narratives,
dramaturgies, it’s not a reproduction of “art on stage”;
_ It’s important to understand Telematic Art not just an aesthetical 10
product by new technology, but a knowledge in itself that can
contribute to improve the technology! (Artists as not a “final users” but
a developer as well, even if they didn’t write computational codes!!!);
_ We need more interdisciplinary project to promote new possibilities
of art-science-technology, but understanding the potential and the
importance of each area.
