Digital artworks for public spaces are brilliantly shown on this well constructed,
informative and stimulating site. Prominent choreographers such as Merce Cunningham,
Trisha Brown, and Bill T. Jones provide an initial point of interest for Dance
students. Works are invaluable for students selecting the Option: Major study
dance and technology in the Dance Stage 6 syllabus. They include descriptions,
animation excerpts, artist’s statements, vibrant images, and essays for
acclaimed works such as Ghostcatching, Hand-drawn spaces, and Biped. Works records some of the history of virtual technology and dance, and provides a
rich source of inspiration for what is possible in the medium. Ideas has material
that is not always easy to obtain when studying dance, including essays, interviews,
and lecture notes. Works in In progress are an additional and rich source of
ideas for Creative Arts students working with multimedia, installations, and
