Site in specific… among other things. Her admirable vitality, is a source of inspiration for new generations.”

Maida’s comments:
Maida answered questions related to art and technology in a two hour interview for A.Mov.Er. The request was to talk about her artistic process and insight into the merging of dance and technology.

Maida spoke and moved in a stream-of-consciousness fashion while being interviewed by Arceli Marquez, Argentine dancer.  The interview was videotaped and the “live” video was immediately  projected back into the performance space of Maida and Arceli. The video was interfacing with the “Isadora” technology program altering the images.

Project organizers and video artists:  Maximiliana Wille,  Adrian Salinas, and Lujan Oulton.
