Shadows play
on weathered textures,
landscapes both natural and surreal.
Light dances
on surfaces,
virtual and visceral.Avatars breathe,
embodying the earth,
the sky,
and the storm within,
drifting between worlds—
animated by the unseen currents
of a dancer’s breath,
captured in the pulse
of motion.
nothing in nothing out
What makes us different as a species – how can we break behavioural patterns? nino challenges the boundaries of what it means to ‘be’ and to ‘experience’, the nature of being, fluidity, identity and existence occupying spaces beyond the body. nino is an invitation onto the stage.
For Gibson/Martelli’s work-in-progress, AI serves as a creative muse, generating music, visuals and avatars from generic prompts. Similarly, the dance practice, Skinner Releasing Technique (SRT) uses spoken texts as prompts to encourage creative movement and play.
Artists gibson/martelli are supported by modina.eu during a residency at Trafó, Budapest with music from Mechanoid Muse: Marcus Villaca and dancers: Balázs Oláh, Csilla Gesztelyi Nagy, Mar Serra Martí and Helén Tamaskó together with Eszter Gál and thanks to Liza Nagy and with clothing from Kitti Laposa.

The nino project is the focus of an artistic residency at Trafo supported by the European Movement, Digital Intelligence and Interactive Audience (MODINA) programme which pairs creative technologists and choreographers together to work on projects with a focus on developing and integrating technology in dance practice, particularly computational creativity and/or audience interaction, with an emphasis on exploring artificial intelligence (AI).
