Working grant 2025 for Florian!

Florian Decker has been awarded the 2025 working grant by the City of Vienna. As part of this stipend, he plans to utilize the DANCR System of H.A.U.S to explore and research the concept of machines within humans and the humanity within machines. Additionally, he will examine the fine line between inspiration and imitation in the creation of art, especially in the context of recent AI developments.

Throughout the year, he will engage in regular improvisation sessions with the DANCR System to physically investigate this theme and discover the inspiration that an AI dance partner can provide. This will be critically examined, supplemented with theoretical research and documented, with the plan to develop rough sketches which could be shared as work in progress towards the end of the year.
