From choreography to information data to objects: how can we understand choreographic structures if they are not danced? This is the key question that for over four years pre-occupied the interdisciplinary research team of William Forsythe, Norah Zuniga Shaw and Maria Palazzi and led to the development of the web-based project ›Synchronous Objects for One Flat Thing, reproduced‹. The aim was to analyse the choreographic connections and interlocking structures of William Forsythe’s work and to present the results in such a way as to extrapolate the underlying classification of the piece in a new form. In a continuation of the project developed by Nora Zuniga Shaw exclusively for ISEA2010 RUHR, it can now be experienced for the first time as a room installation.
