This paper features the creative practice from the long-running collaborative research project, Hacking the Body and Hacking the Body 2.0, between media artist/researcher Camille Baker and media artist/choreographer Kate Sicchio. It focuses on our ongoing concerns to combine, rework, reconstruct and evolve our performative research on the use of wearable technology and smart textiles in performance. By exploring both the technologies that are commercially available and those that are custom made, we have developed improvisational dance performances that use biosensing and haptic feedback to influence the performers, and also structure choreography around interactive affordances that may be embodied or sensual. This practice is part of a long heritage of work that explores not only the possibilities of sensing technologies but also the effect of wearable technology on movement and choreography.
