早在1970年代，不斷挑戰成規的編舞家簡寧漢（Merce Cunningham）已開始創造專供鏡頭拍攝的舞作。攝影機，不僅紀錄台上演出實況，更變成編舞家。
當Art Tech成為潮流之前，日本新媒體藝術家真鍋大度已經走得很前。例如2013年，人工智能還沒成為熱話，他便研發了一套自動交易系統，從東京證券交易所抽取買賣數據，實時轉化為互動藝術品。
真鍋與伙伴成立的團隊Rhizomatiks往績驕人。作為2016年奧運會閉幕式的導演，把編舞、舞者動作與硬件融合而成擴增實境和視像投射，贏得一致讚許；為日本人氣女子樂隊Perfume的演唱會打造奇幻視效，多年來與女子舞團ELEVENPLAY不斷測試嶄新意念。硬件軟件製作兼擅，真鍋更由零開始學跳舞，把他想做的，做得更透徹全面。
最熟悉舞作的，自是舞者本身。今趟，ELEVENPLAY同時扮演攝影師，用智能電話自拍新作，再由Rhizomatiks添色。
「看」與「被看」的關係，從來不是清一色。

Synopsis: Ever the boundary pusher, legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham, by the 1970s, had started creating dance work specifically to be filmed. The camera was thus no mere witness to the action but a choreographer in its own right.
And long before art tech became a trend, Japanese new media auteur Daito Manabe was already miles ahead of his time. In 2013, for instance, when AI was still relatively unknown, he masterfully developed an automated trading system and transformed real-time transaction data from the Tokyo Stock Exchange into an interactive art piece.
Rhizomatiks, co-founded by Manabe and his creative partner, has a lot to be proud of: their direction of the 2016 Olympic Games closing ceremony, where choreography, dancers’ movements and perfectly-synced hardware melded into AR and projected visuals, won worldwide acclaim; they have also tailored concert effects for Japanese pop group Perfume, while working closely with the all-female dance troupe ELEVENPLAY to try out their new ideas. From hardware to software, the pair do it all — and Manabe is even learning how to dance too to be a true master of his art.
When it comes to dance work, the choreographer/dancer naturally know best. This time, ELEVENPLAY doubles as the cameraman to film their latest act with smartphones, before Rhizomatiks adds the final touch.
The viewer and the viewed — a paradox that never ceases to inspire.
