인간과 기계가 공존하는 춤 작품의 양가적(兩價的) 의미 탐색: 인형에서 로봇으로 변천사를 중심으로

Abstract

This study aims to understand the dance work in which humans and machines coexist within the historical context of creating automata, moving dolls. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to explore the two-sided meaning of such dance works by paying attention to how dolls and robots, digital sensors, and artificial intelligence coexist with humans as self-moving machines. In this study, I analyzed concrete works by dividing them into three types of coexistence: dolls, robots, and bodies directly combined with machines. As a result of this study, first, interest in moving dolls was shown to express ‘mixed identity’ through the dancer’s body that reproduces the movements of imaginary dolls in dance. Second, the appearance of actual robots was realized in the direction of pursuing mutual emotional communication by resembling human ‘inside’ rather than creating human- like outside in dance. Third, the body directly connected to the machine changes not only the appearance but also the innate ability of the body to have ‘ambivalent emotions’ of fear and curiosity. In all three modes of coexistence examined in this study, post-humanism and human communication methods interact with each other with different faces. In the end, it was found that in the dance work in which humans and machines coexist, both sides were presented in harmony with the post-humanistic elements that give interesting, fun, and unfamiliar shock in numerous ways, and the human elements where our daily imagination and emotions meet.
