Regularity

The performance piece ''Dance,'' a collaboration between choreographer Lucinda Childs, composer Phillip Glass, and artist Sol LeWitt, is a work that integrates these performance strands together. Like all of the works discussed above, narrative was removed and the subject is literally movement, hearing, and seeing through variation and repetition. For three of the five sections of the performance, LeWitt created films of the dancers performing the same sequence of motions that they perform live on stage. He filmed them on top of a grid to reinforce the structure within the choreography. The film is projected onto a scrim at the front of the stage during the performance and it's synchronized to a recorded version of Glass' score. At times the projected image is enlarged and at times it is slowed down as the film echos the movements of the live performance. Glass's music for ''Dance'' features his signature style of repeating and transforming brief passages. The foundation of Dance is Lucinda Childs choreography which she has referred to as stripped down ballet. In the first and strongest movement, the dancers move along straight lines from left to right and right to left across the stage. As they quickly follow the line in a mix of running, skipping, and turning, they move through a series of tilts. The perception is they are moving through every permutation within the grammar of movements created for the dance. Like 10 PRINT, the sound and motion are hypnotic and emphasize the details of the variation rather than larger global structural changes. Unlike 10 PRINT, ''Dance'' works across multiple media to synthesize a powerful and at times overwhelming aesthetic experience.

10 PRINT offers in its single line a sense of the generative potential of the rhythmic repetition of a very simple process involving basic which ultimately makes it generative. By "generative," we refer to work that is derived from a fixed system. The most cited definition for generative art was written by Philip Galanter:
