Generative Dance - a Taxonomy and Survey

Embodied exploration of deep latent spaces in interactive dance-music performance

“…Recently, the advent of AI for creative endeavors through deep generative models has received increasing attention among both artists and researchers [10,17].These approaches have also raised several ethical and environmental concerns [11,14], questioning their integration into artistic design practices. Recently, generative AI has gained interest among the dance community [3]. Our work falls within this growing research field and aims to investigate embodied interaction with deep audio generative models in interactive music/dance systems through performance-led research design.…”

“…Yet, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first attempt to bind it with motion sensors and study embodied latent space exploration for musical creation in interactive dance/music performance. 3 https://github.com/acids-ircam/nn_tilde…”

“…In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) for generative tasks has achieved impressive results. This trend in generative AI has now begun to influence creative endeavours among both the music [17] and dance communities [3] alike. These models have also raised ethical inquiries within both the artistic and research communities [11,34] regarding data collection [44], environmental impact of their large computational costs [14], and engineering AI approaches to autonomously perform human musical tasks [17,44].…”
