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.
This paper presents the layout of and research behind the dance performance Precious Camouflage, which explores the interplay between human movement and artificial intelligence (AI) within a museal space. The work stages four AI systems that interact live with a contemporary dance ensemble and the audience, critically examining themes of agency, surveillance, interpretation, and body politics.

The dance piece and choreographic installation Spheres is an artistic research project at the intersection of dance, philosophical discourse on bodies and agency. Five spherical robots move seemingly independently alongside three dancers in the exhibition space and open the dialogue on connections and physicalities of different agents. The installation focuses on the exchange between human and other beings and on the question of how movement can be transformed within and through different bodies by decomposing interaction principles and artistic discourse.
In the interactive participatory dance performance 1250 Mb/s produced by fabien prioville dance company and technically developed by MIREVI, the audience enters into a physical game with the dancers, making the process of data collection tangible.
Challenges and possibilities for the production of digital performance art were considered in the AR dance piece kin_ developed by the MIREVI team. The interactive mixed reality dance performance is a piece with up to three moving avatars and audience, developed for augmented reality to download as an app on the user's own device from the AppStore.
