Merce Cunningham Before Computers

”The model of the kind of world we now inhabit was there in Cunningham’s world long before the Internet or computer existed. The space is decentralized, exits and entrances are very unpredictable. It’s not unlike the way you establish multiple windows on the computer. If I were looking for an early model in a time-based art like dance that anticipates what our life is like in cyberspace I’d say it’s there in Cunningham’s work.”
