Ruzena and Merce, and Holography Too

Ruzena Bajscy's visualization research team at University of California, Berkeley, has once again teamed with dancers to use holographic projections as part of a stunning performance that also raises deep questions about touch (the least studied of the senses), virtuality, absence, presence, and loss. This brilliant collaboration with Merce Cunningham and his dancers is given additional power by the long histories that this scientist and this choreographer/dancer bring to their colleaboration.
