- Digital Movement is a collection of critical essays written by experts across a range of disciplines (computation, dance, mathematics, philosophy, movement), drawing on an international conference organised by Salazar Sutil at the University of Surrey. These essays address the technological mediation of human movement, and ways in which current innovation in movement technology can inform (and is in turn informed by) creative practices and the arts. The book’s findings make a contribution to the emerging field of movement computation and movement studies more broadly, through an international and interdisciplinary critical interrogation of movement practices in conjunction with emerging technologies (mocap, VR, immersive technologies, robotics). The book also features a section on histories of movement technology, for which I contributed a chapter on Soviet experiments on human labour and movement.
The book is co-edited with Professor Sita Popat from the University of Leeds. Editorial responsibilities were split evenly between the two editors 50-50. Salazar Sutil wrote the Introduction, and Popat proving valuable editorial input to the introductory chapter. Editorial responsibilities were split evenly (with three sections each). Both editors contributed a chapter. Research to source the most appropriate contributors, author liaison, and editing of drafts was led by Salazar Sutil.
Salazar Sutil’s direct contribution is therefore: co-design of the book’s structure and purpose; Introduction (3,800 words); a chapter entitled the ‘Making of Movement Utopia’ (8,500) as well as an index and a bibliography.
