New Frontier: Dance Trail
by Karen Pecota

New Frontier installations are described by Chief Curator, Shari Frilot to excite the human experience for a surprise discovery. She says, "There is an awe when powerful technologies enable experiences that capture, replicate, and replace "the real." She continues, "But it is even more special when the human touch converges with technology to provoke us to transcend beyond what we know to be real and into unfamiliar terrain."

The creators of this technology driven installation are from Switzerland. Dance Trail when experienced will definitely transcend you along with your artist to dance the world.  Dance Trail is a site-specific and smartphone app that lets you see and place dancers in various locations at the Festival. I still have the app on my phone and check it out and have fun with it in my daily world.
