(Un)trackable: Movement Data and AI

Movement enables us to sense, express and connect with others and the world around us. With the rapid AI development of tools, techniques and feedback formats, we call for a critical and constructive discussion on how movement is tracked, shaped or discarded.

Illustration: 'Drifting bodies through Algorithms' (2026)

During this 2-day symposium we bring together scholars and practitioners from design, choreography, movement studies, human-computer interaction (HCI), philosophy, and disability studies to highlight aspects including agency, inclusion, plurality, and individuation. 

With presentations, movement sessions, and roundtable discussions, we will explore ways to foster a transdisciplinary discourse on movement and sensing technologies.
