After producing ground-breaking computer-based tools to advance the study of human movement, such as the video-visualization techniques contained in the Musical-Gestures Toolbox, Alexander Refsum Jensenius has con-tinued to find more creative and analytical possibilities to intersect our understandings of music and dance. In the current context of technology-assisted misappropriation of tradi-tional songs and dances, I interviewed the Deputy Director of the RITMO Centre on how we might revert the link between new technol-ogies and intangible cultural heritage for the benefit of legitimate bearers.Furthermore, in this interview, Alexander out-lines the embodied and interdisciplinary ap-proach towards music that has grounded the course of his career but even more interesting-ly, he offers insights about the future of expe-riencing dance through technology and the possibility of dancing robots.
