My name is Marlon Barrios Solano, I am based in NYC and I am the creator and producer of dance-tech.net (this social networking site),
dance-techTV and of the
dance-tech.net interviews.
Techne, or techné, is etymologically derived from the Greek word τέχνη (Ancient Greek: [tékʰnɛː], Modern Greek Ell-Techni.ogg which is often translated as
craftsmanship,
craft, or art.
dance-tech.net is a social networking website connecting people concerned about the
techne or the CRAFT of dance in our contemporary world, its embedded condition in technologically designed and mediated environments and of course its trainings, its stories and histories.
Using the most advanced social software platforms and internet rich multimedia applications, dance-tech.net provides movement and new media artists, theorist, thinkers and technologists the possibility of sharing work, ideas and research, generating opportunities for interdisciplinary and collaborative projects.
It explores innovation, creative processes, collaborations and the impact of new media technology and interdisciplinary approaches on the performance of movement and life.
dance-tech.net is also an experiment on developing a sustainable and alternative infrastructure for knowledge distribution and trans-local collaborative creativity facilitated by the new internet.
dance-tech.net is
FREE and
open to all and it is focused on fostering innovation, collaboration and inquiry.
