Abstract
My contribution to critical and artistic dialogues within the intersecting fields of dance and screen-based images consists in examining the role of peripheral vision in the perception of dance in artistic contexts where projections are used. There is, as I will point out, sufficient evidence from phenomenological and neuro-physiological accounts to conclude that motion perception is affected by peripheral visual perceptions. Consequently, it is maintained that the spectator’s experience of dance, especially when screens are involved, depends to some degree on peripheral visual perception, which in turn contributes to proprioception.

Projection mapping is called “spatial augmented reality,” and all so rightly in the context of Seventh Sense (2011), a work performed by the Taiwanese Anarchy Dance Theatre, with choreography by Chieh-hua Hsieh, and interactive designs provided by Ultra Combos new media agency
In works for the stage, scenography can be thought of as an installation through which the performers evolve, and in which the spectators can subjectively project themselves, as is the case with film viewing in a cinema theater
Summary
My contribution to critical and artistic dialogues within the intersecting fields of dance and screen-based images consists in examining the role of peripheral vision in the perception of dance in artistic contexts where projections are used. Having explored the relationship of vision to kinesthesia, I shall, in the third and fourth sections, present various screen based installation and scenographies that show how artists arrange the different media scores so that they work together towards immersion. In his famous and influential sensory system classification, Charles Sherrington defined proprioception in dialectical relation to exteroception and interoception.. Feedback is at play in motility, perception, and postural control The latter allows us to position ourselves, move, and act in the physical world according to internal models the brain elaborates, and through which it compares its predictions with reality.. Proprioception is the very ground to sensory perception as it provides the a priori “sense of self” or of embodiment.
