INTRODUCTION

We enter the dance via screens within screens, small pixels within large
pixels, rendered pixels. This is a net.dance, the spatial and theatrical
dimensions of which are very much about surface. We activate the dance
square by square. The dance proceeds at the user's pace as we nudge the
traveler along. Rather than being transported by the dance, we navigate
the dancer's travels for her but there's only so much control we have in
this predestined journey, which is hers alone.

The traveler is alien to the Manhattan street. While the music's overall
impact is hard and discordant
