CURATED: ANALIVIA CORDEIRO

Analivia Cordeiro is a dancer, choreographer and architect from Brazil. Considered a pioneer in both video art and computer video dance, she has been developing since 1973 a continuous and intense transdisciplinary work exploring the relationships between body, movement, visual and audiovisual art as well as media art. With her innovative M3x3computer video dance from 1973, Analivia stands as the forerunner of video art in Latin America, paving the way for the first generation to explore the medium experimentally. She is also a world pioneer in programming an algorithm for video dance.

Between 1973 and 1976 Analivia Cordeiro produced four works M3x3 (1973), 0°<——>45° VERSION I (1974/1975), GESTURES (1975), and CAMBIANTES (1976) – all computer video dances. The 2022 Paramount Pictures film BABYLON, which centers around the landmark shift in cinema through the development of technology, features 0°<——>45° VERSION I in its finale sequence consisting of clips from some of the most historically relevant films from 1878 to 2009.

Her work has been globally exhibited at, among others, Chance and Control, Victoria and Albert Museum, London, UK, 2018; Radical Women: Latin American Art, 1960–1985, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, USA, Brooklyn Museum, New York USA, Pinacoteca de São Paulo, SP BRA; 35.

EXHIBITION

The first version of 0°&lt;——&gt;45° is a historical work in computer-based dance. It is a solo dance performed by Cordeiro where the dancer’s body blends with the stage design while she makes movements following rounded or diagonal lines. 
Both the stage setting and the costume design were created with an aesthetic close to concrete art. This work develops a language of dance based on a very contemporary look for that time, which broke away from the then prevailing conventional dance aesthetics that still maintained a clear influence from classical ballet. The body seemed to become a moving sculptural form.
