IJSD Volume 13: Choreographing the Archive Rippling Outwardly: Expanding The Notion Of Screendance Archives With Augmented And Mixed Reality Jeannette Ginslov Abstract In this article I propose that augmented reality (AR) and mixed reality (MR) have the potential to expand the notion of a Screendance archive. This takes the form of a hybrid installation, where visitors are invited to download an AR app onto their mobile phones, or tablets, to access a Screendance archive tagged to images in an installation space. This type of archive, is conceived as a piece of artistic work for hybrid installations, and is intrinsically related to collaborative artistic, philosophical and technological research. It has the ability to highlight temporal shifts between past and present and demonstrates how archived somatic states may ripple outwardly across technologies, bodies, and space, to audiences who embody these states within the wider somatic feld. For these MR interactions to work, methods in relation to flming, editing, and archiving are re- examined. Documentation and archiving methods are reviewed through a phenomenological lens and once distributed within the AR/MR archive installation, a postphenomenological perspective reveals how new relations with technology, materials and media are discovered. Furthermore, the use of AI is perceived as enhancing the rippling out of afective somatic states that becomes an embodied materiality 1 (orig. emphasis), a relational feminist posthumanist perspective, that, permanently changes ways of seeing and experiencing dance on screens and the notion of a Screendance archive. Keywords: Screendance, archive, installation, embodied materiality, Augmented Reality, AI Introduction In this article I propose that augmented reality (AR) 2 and mixed reality (MR) 3 have the potential to expand the notion of a Screendance archive. Since 2011, I have worked with Susan Kozel, in collaboration with other artists and researchers, creating several Screendance AR archives as hybrid or MR installations and exhibitions, with the aim of sharing bodily states with viewers through technological and philosophical experimentation. Each collaboration attempted to tackle the problem of archiving and disseminating subtle bodily states that are often lost or depleted in conventional archival forms. This type of archive is conceived as both a piece of artistic work for hybrid installations, and is intrinsically related to artistic, philosophical and technological research. Visitors to the installations are invited to download an AR app onto their mobile phone, or The International Journal of Screendance 13 (2022) https://doi.org/10.18061/ijsd.v13i1.9197 © 2022 Ginslov.
