Body Without Presence explores how culturally embedded bodily gestures are transformed and destabilized through artificial intelligence. Inspired by Analivia Cordeiro’s Computer Dance series, the work treats the human body not as an individual presence but as a collection of symbolic signs.
Drawing on Japanese dance traditions such as Bon Odori, Awa Odori, and Yosakoi—where movements carry meanings rooted in ritual, agriculture, and collective memory—the work reinterprets these gestures through AI-generated transformation and generative animation. As bodies are repeatedly synthesized and distorted, they gradually lose their original significance, dissolving into mechanical forms that exist between the human and the algorithmic.
Rather than using AI as a mere tool, the work embraces it as a collaborator in the production of meaning. It asks how symbols change when detached from their cultural context, and what new forms of poetry might emerge from bodies that no longer possess a stable identity or presence.
