# about

compudanzas is a research project aimed at the development of alternative modes of computation. 

# mission

we enlarge to a human-scale and slow down to a human-speed the processes that give rise to what is understood as computing.

through our experiments we ask: what happens when computers are dances, rituals, games, instead of closed electronic boxes with a high environmental and social cost?

to what extent can we reappropriate these logics to inspire other ways of being in the world?

what can be the role of non-electronic, very slow, human-scale, and seemingly useless computers, in a world that seems to be in {collapse}?

are they alternative and empowering didactic materials? {performances}? puzzles? passtimes? magic tricks? marvelous pursuits?

# research
