A science/art/new technology event demonstrating the powers of Emergence Theory in the generation of interdisciplinary performance. A close relative of Chaos and Complexity, Emergence is a scientific phenomenon describing dynamic systems that self-organise in unpredictable ways: flocking birds, ant colonies, street fashions, performance. Long-term collaborators Jane Turner (choreographer) and Daniel Biro (composer) have been exploring scientific theories that generate dynamic creative patterning as a source for new performance works since 1996. The initial impetus for this project was informed by Prof. Igor Aleksander of Imperial College and his work on Neural Networks. The e-MERGE project is supported by European Commission
