- Online

Powered by Research Education at University Libraries. STEAM Salon is an informal series held in the STEM Library featuring faculty and student speakers in science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics who engage and inspire our university community with their current research.
Dancing with Robots
DANCE2 is a dance performance about human-robot interaction and our collective feelings about technology’s influence on the future. Audiences use their smartphones to interact with the performance, influencing the choreography of the human and robotic dancers. Through their choices, the audience explores the question of whether emerging technology is bringing us closer together or pulling us farther apart.
