In 1896 the Lumière Brothers registered Loïe Fuller's Danse Serpentine. Through the cloths' movement, Fuller was exploring theatrical light. And through cinematographic recording and postproduction -tinting frames one by one, the Lumière Brothers started film language. Therefore in the 19th century artistic performance and its recording went hand in hand.
In May 2011, the multidisciplinary artists Merche Blasco, Mimi Yin and Christine Doempke, presented at the NYU Tisch School of the Arts "Capturing Dance – Exploring movement with computer vision". The artistic project included a device that worked with kinect technology, which captured the interaction between the device and the dancers, the audience and the music, and also generated modifications in the movements proposed by the artists.
Both practices, which are over a hundred years apart, reveal yet some common concerns: a special interest in the moving nature of art; the body and its boundaries; the tension between ephemeral and permanent; the mediation as a field for reflection; and finally, both are presenting the latest technologies of their era.
