Il movimento: tutto qui. L’ordine aleatorio delle macchine danzanti

Abstract

Starting from the analysis of Accumulation (1971) and Set and Reset, the article intends to analyze the relationship between chance and artistic creation in Trisha Brown. The notion of “dancing machine”, used by Trisha Brown herself to refer to the dancer, will be the occasion to attempt the juxtaposition between dancing body, animal and cybernetic machine. As we will see, the case is an element of creation proper to the living and, in general, to every self-poietic system.
