The exhibition brings together selected works and artistic research developed within the MIREVI context, alongside contributions from associated artists. It foregrounds experimental approaches at the intersection of movement, digital intelligence, and interactive systems. Rather than positioning dance solely as a stage-based practice, the exhibition invites visitors to encounter movement as data, interface, environment, and embodied interaction—unfolding across installations, tracking systems, and performative setups. Video documentation complements the exhibition, providing insight into artistic processes, research trajectories, and the development of the presented works. Rather than functioning as a retrospective, the exhibition focuses on questions that continue to shape contemporary choreographic and artistic research: How does technology transform choreographic thinking and bodily behavior? In what ways can digital systems act as collaborators, constraints, or counterparts rather than mere tools? How might audiences experience movement through interactive, hybrid, or speculative formats?

From 23 to 25 January 2026, the EU-funded project MODINA – Movement, Digital Intelligence and Interactive Audience will conclude its three-year research journey with a three-day programme in Düsseldorf, open to both professional and public audiences. The closing event, organised by the MIREVI team at the University of Applied Sciences Düsseldorf in collaboration with tanzhaus nrw, offers multiple formats for engaging with the project’s outcomes: four artist showings, an exhibition, a symposium, and a network gathering.

Düsseldorf has long been a vibrant hub of German music and youth culture. From underground warehouse parties to legendary clubs, the city has shaped movements that have had an impact far beyond its borders.
