Generated Choreographies

Workshop
Wed, 25 February 2026 at 4 PM
ALUO, Tobačna 5, Ljubljana

Part of tactics&practice #17: Becoming Image
Curated by Marco De Mutiis

Generated Choreographies is a performance workshop by Nina Davies, which explores movement in relation to generated videos, deep fakes, and AI interrupted memes. Through a series of choreographic exercises, the workshop will support participants to explore how generated footage can be simulated by the body rather than computational devices.

To begin the workshop, Davies will introduce methods she has used to mimic digital processes within the body as well as present some AI videos for participants to scan through and find re-creatable choreographies from. Following this, she will demonstrate and teach the group a short repertoire of movements drawn from popular generated videos found on TikTok and other shortform video platforms.

Participants will then break out into smaller groups to explore creating their own choreographic phrases inspired by generated videos of their choosing. To conclude the workshop, participants will present what they have made and collectively discuss where these sets of movements could be used in everyday life to alter our perceptions of events.

Takeaways:

– An understanding of how new image technologies affect the way we might move
– Learn methods of evading surveillance technology using dance
– Authorship of fakeness

Duration: 3h

Materials and knowledge required:

– Please bring your phone for recording session
– Phone charger

THE AUTHOR

Nina Davies is a Canadian-British artist who considers the present moment through observing dance in popular culture and how it is disseminated, circulated, made, and consumed. Previous research projects have included; the recent commodification of the dancing body on digital platforms and rethinking dances of today as traditional dances of the future. Her work explores how popular dance trends mimic digital misrepresentations of the human body, using glitchy and repetitive movement as a choreographic vernacular that tests how bodies are read, captured, and circulated by technological systems. Oscillating between the use of fiction and non-fiction, her work helps build new critical frameworks for engaging with dance practices. Her work has recently been shown at venues such as Tate Britain, V&A Museum, Somerset House and the Photographers Gallery. In 2021, she co-founded Future Artefacts FM, an artist-run program that showcases artists working with speculative fiction for broadcast.

ARTIST TALK

Nina Davies
Synchronising with Images
Tue, 24 February 2026 at 6 PM
Moderna galerija, Ljubljana

In this talk, Nina Davies examines how early image-making technologies, originally invented for scientific purposes, came to be adopted as tools for storytelling, and trace how these storytelling logics have seeped into courtrooms and other high-stakes environments. In this sense, images synchronise with reality so convincingly that we treat them as faithful reflections of events, yet techniques like slow motion can subtly distort what we see – implying, for example, that a person had more time to act than they actually did, a distortion that can influence judgments of guilt or innocence.

The talk also explores what it might mean for people to physically synchronise with images. From moving in slow motion to walking like an NPC to presenting oneself as an AI-generated image, she demonstrates how her work imagines a world in which the body can recalibrate – or even disrupt – our relationship to technology.
