Operator, Human Unreadable #208 Act 1

Operator

Human Unreadable #208 Act 1
Human Unreadable is a three-act, embodied generative artwork hiding the human body in plain sight (on-chain). Bringing together choreography, code, blockchain, generative art, and cryptography, the work culminates in a live performance. Each output is driven by the motion data of its underlying unique, on-chain choreographic sequence. The sequences behind the first 100 minted works will be performed during the IRL premiere. Date and hosting institution to be announced.

Human Unreadable has roots in various histories such as computational choreography (Analivia Cordeiro, Jeanne Beaman), Merce Cunningham's Chance Dance, and the Experiments in Art and Technology movement. With Ti’s background as an HCI technologist and multimedia artist and Catherine’s background as a choreographer and performance artist, Operator architected a bespoke team, 25+ individuals ranging from specialized engineers to dancers, who embarked on a highly experimental process to realize the work. Operator's on-chain generative choreography method is the technical backbone of Human Unreadable—the process and open source tooling for which are being made available to other artists and institutions. Operator's method was utilized in 2024 by sculptor Hermine Bourdin for her collaboration with the Paris Opera.

Operator hints at a future where the economics of performing arts are transformed via technology, with new opportunities for artists who work in ephemeral mediums to develop sustainable practices.
