A collaboration with the visual artists Navine G-Khan Dossos and Maria Varela.

Based on the movement notation system Motif Notation, the three artists experimented around the use of symbols in their different practices (dance, painting, weaving) with a central research question: How can a technical tool like Motif Notation function as an artistic compositional tool and as a language of communication between different fields creating a new artistic product?
