In Human Algorithm, people flock together to embody code. The series examines the presence of intangible rules that govern collective behaviour amid our technologically amplified societal landscape.

Performers follow a set of instructions, transcribed from Random International’s custom algorithm by the choreographer Anna Asplind. This algorithm has enabled Random International to simulate collective life forms across a myriad of digital works, including When Tomorrow Comes, Life in Our Minds, Swarm Studies and +/- Human.

Here, the essential procedural rules that the algorithm necessitates have been deconstructed and brought into interconnected motion solely via the human body. Where in daily life such rules may be obscure, nestled so deeply inside the routine as to become undetectable, Human Algorithm makes this process overt —  thrust into the deliberate activity of human beings.
