Prepared by Marlon Barrios Solano for the event: "Emergent Global Corporealities: Dance Technologies and Circulation...
Yale University, New Haven, CC

Using the most advanced social software platforms and rich multimedia internet applications, dance-tech.net provides movement and new media artists, theorist, thinkers and technologists an on-line space for accessing and sharing ideas, work, research and collaborative projects.

Barrios Solano introduces dance-tech.net and dance-techTV as a sustainable model of production and exchange of knowledge within a community of movement and mew media artits, theorists, technologists and organizations. The new internet or Web 2.0 architectures helps us to see Networks as the materialization of social dynamics, as sites of action, translocal presence and social innovation and sampling. They have become the most important emergent repositories of social and cognitive capital of a given community. dance-tech.net registers conversations, dialogues, performances, ideas and lives using the WWW as a site for a relational intervention on the boundaries of bodies, countries, disciplines and organizations.
