ABOUT
Founded in 2013 by choreographer Daiane Lopes da Silva and scientist Weidong Yang, Kinetech Arts is a non-profit organization that brings together dancers, scientists, and digital artists to explore the dynamic intersection of movement, science, and technology. Our artistic journey delves deep into the ever-changing relationship between humans and technology, contemplating its profound impact on the human-machine ecosystem. Our vision at KA is to unite the performing arts, science, and tech communities through immersive live performances and interdisciplinary collaborations to empower innovative ideas on a cutting-edge platform. KA is currently Home Company at ODC Theater and resident artists at Lucas Artists Residency Program.
