How do our movements, instincts and senses change when they meet robotics and digital systems? When the body becomes both performer and instrument, what does it mean to move, feel and be human? Explore these questions through a series of multi-sensory, interactive works across our Embankment Galleries. This exhibition celebrates multi award-winning choreographer Wayne McGregor’s extraordinary collaborations, bringing together world-leading artists, designers, filmmakers, and musicians. From the visual effects of Industrial Light & Magic and interactive installations by Random International, Google Arts & Culture, to the music of Max Richter, Radiohead, and The Chemical Brothers. The photography, fashion, and film work of Ben Cullen Williams, Ravi Deepres, Jeffrey Shaw, Gareth Pugh, Indigo Lewin, Ruth Hogben, and Nick Knight – Infinite Bodies shows how movement can become a medium that reaches beyond the stage. Throughout the exhibition, Company Wayne McGregor will be in residence – sometimes rehearsing, sometimes performing, sometimes experimenting. Visitors may witness dancers activating installations or interacting with the space in real time, blurring the line between audience and performance.
