In 1943, a doctor claimed to make the “perfect” woman. He averaged the measurements of 15,000 women, made her out of plaster, and put her in Time magazine. They called her Norma. Thousands of women sent in their own measurements to see if they matched. Not one did. The story that emerged was “something is wrong with you.” No one is truly “normal,” of course. @lisajamhoury built Lossy because she realized we never stopped doing this. We just moved it into software. Every app, every screen, every platform you use today was designed for the center of the bell curve. Everything outside it gets compressed away. Her installation is a three-sided room of figures made from fractions of a second of motion-captured circus duet, looping forever. A memorial, she calls it, to the physical body in the age of the digital body. She was finishing it when her mother died. Cheek pressed to hers. “I could have never imagined the world without my mother,” she told me. “It’s like I’ve lost an appendage.” Vonnegut wrote “so it goes” every time he couldn’t face what had just happened. Jamhoury borrowed it. “We can die physically,” she said. “We cannot die digitally. My mom’s Facebook account is still up and going.” Full conversation at the link in bio. What’s something your technology refuses to let go of?

Emerging technologies rewrite what dance can be: how it’s made, how it’s taught, how it travels, who gets to participate. Presented in partnership with Onassis ONX, FUTURE FIGURES: Dance and Emerging Technologies gathers choreographers, technologists, and audiences for a day of pointed conversations, live performance/demonstrations, and talks from some of the most interesting artists working at the seam of dance and technology. The through-line: what happens when dancers stop reacting to new tools and start building them. 📍 Doris Duke Theatre, Jacob’s Pillow + Online 📅 July 9, 2026 | Keynote livestream 10am ET A public keynote by Sydney Skybetter, Director of the Brown Arts Institute at Brown University (@baibrownu), will be available via a free livestream. Following the keynote, Skybetter will facilitate a series of discussions with preeminent choreographers and stakeholders working at the intersection of dance and technology. Participants include Silas Riener, Marlon Barrios Solano, Ilya Vidrin, Jessica Rajko, Jordana Leigh, Sage Ni’Ja Whitson, Tara Aisha Willis, Christy Bolingbroke, Brian Brooks, Michael Byrne, Sarah Nguyễn, Tod Machover, brooke smiley & Thea Wood, and d. Sabela Grimes & Meena Murugesan. Artists from the ONX community will also be presenting, including Katherine Helen Fisher, Sarah Silverblatt-Buser, Lisa Jamhoury, Andrew Schneider, Brandon Powers, and Onassis ONX New York Managing Director Matthew Niederhauser. Presented concurrently this week, Collective Body invites participants to meet themselves and one another through movement. Set in the middle of a New Mexican storm, the piece guides you through formative moments — beginning alone, discovering the unfamiliar, first encounters, joyfully moving together — asking: how does a body hold histories over time, and how are those histories felt and shared? Created by Sarah Silverblatt-Buser (@silver_sarah), originally commissioned by Lincoln Center (@lincolncenter), and supported by Onassis ONX. 📍 Sommers Studio, Jacob’s Pillow 📅 July 8–11, 2026 | Approx. 30 minutes Register and get tickets at the link in bio. #JacobsPillow #OnassisONX #FutureFigures #CollectiveBody

Thank you to all who attended last week’s DTC workshop! 💫 Additional thanks to our thoughtful instructors @lisajamhoury & @seestrawrun and NYU Tandon at The Yard @idmnyu for the incredible space and technical support. Highlights for us: *Group play with sensors! We worked with 3 volunteer performers in motion capture suits, while additional participants were invited to play with “rigid bodies” (sensor tracked objects, as opposed to the suits’ flexible, free flowing tracking). This led to interactive play where artists could become light sources, steer the camera’s point of view, and more. *Learning about how Lisa integrates storytelling into her work, specifically in her piece “Maquette.” This live performance explores the human individuality we risk losing in the rapid virtualization of everyday life. The work was partially inspired by the unsettling story of “Norma,” a statue created in the 1940s to represent the average woman, though modeled only after white women ages 21–25, excluding most women by age, race, and body type. “Maquette” explores the notion of averaging, a mechanism used in software and machine learning that has been shown to make false assumptions about individuals, especially regarding neurodiversity, race, and gender. *For the workshop, the DTC researched various mo-cap systems and more specifically how/if AI is integrated into the OptiTrack → Unreal Engine workflow. The gist for curious minds: there are AI options in Unreal Engine, but the user can choose if they want to opt in. The standard OptiTrack → Unreal workflow does not require/use generative AI or AI assisted tracking to function. DM us if you’d like to learn about other mo-cap systems we’re researching and things we’re considering when approaching these systems. 📸 by @canigetawhitney Whitney Browne Additional thanks to @winslowturnerporteriii and @cinemaryann 🪩

More than a decade of creative experimentation, collaboration and innovation. From Bother to Where We Meet, Unwired Dance Theatre’s and Clemence Debaig’s work has consistently explored how technology can deepen human connection, expand accessibility and create new forms of audience experience. Through projects including loss.y, Remote Intimacy, Discordance and many others, each work has built on the last, testing new ideas, challenging assumptions and helping shape a distinctive approach to performance, participation and digital innovation. A look back at some of the projects, partnerships and creative explorations that have helped define the journey so far. #UnwiredDanceTheatre #CreativeTechnology #DigitalPerformance #MixedReality #ImmersiveExperience InnovationInArts AccessibleDesign DigitalEmbodiment @chloe.bee_ @ronkowskiart @lisajamhoury @clemencedebaig_art

Want to change people? Change their environment. At this week’s motion capture workshop at @idmnyu, co-hosted by our Director of Technology, Christopher Strawley (@seestrawrun) and movement artist @lisajamhoury, dancers wore @optitrack suits while participants used tracked markers to create avatars and effects in @unrealengine. When avatars touched hands, sparks flew. Literally. When avatars donned “headlamps”, dancers started “searching”. Humans have always danced. Now? Environments can move with them. That’s the insight we’re bringing into our Lab: responsive spaces don’t just visualize behavior. They shape it. #AIPoweredExperiences #ImmersiveTechnology #CreativeTechnology #ExperientialDesign #AIExperiences #FutureOfExperiences #InteractiveEnvironments #ImmersiveDesign #HumanCenteredAI

Artist Bio: Lisa Jamhoury is a Lebanese-American artist creating live performances, installations, and physical media. She creates and directs cinematically rich, embodied experiences that recenter human agency in the digital age. Drawing from her backgrounds in contemporary circus, somatics, and experience design, Lisa brings embodied intelligence to her work as a software programmer. She moves fluidly across platforms, code bases, and tools treating technology itself as choreographic material. A specialist in motion capture from high-end studio systems to low-cost experimental tools, she translates the nuance of human movement into responsive digital environments where bodies and machines converse. Lisa is an Interdisciplinary Fellow with the Royal Shakespeare Company and artist in residence with EY Intelligent Realities Lab. Her performance Maquette was a 2025 Lumen Prize Performance and Music finalist, and her spatial audio installation loss·y recently premiered at SXSW 2026.

At SXSW 2026, loss·y is featured in coverage by the BBC, with reporter Nick Kwek stepping inside the work. Through headphones and movement, the space responds in real time - audio unfolding as the body navigates it. A system developed by Unwired Dance Theatre, where choreography, spatial sound and interaction are inseparable. Reflecting on the experience, Nick Kwek describes: “Another installation invites viewers to navigate a virtual space using a pair of headphones. Around them, sculptural forms - almost like statues - anchor the space. As you move between them, the sound shifts, responding to your position in real time. It becomes a question of presence - and how technology is shaping the way we experience it.” Created by Lisa Jamhoury, loss·y builds on that premise through motion capture, photogrammetry and spatial audio - not as spectacle, but as a framework for perception. Her questions sit at the centre of the work: What kind of relationship do we want between our bodies and technology?
