About

Jordan Beth Vincent is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of dance, digital media, and human-robot interaction. Her work explores how movement, touch, sound, and vision converge in technologically mediated environments, fundamentally reshaping our understanding of embodied performance. Vincent’s most cited paper, “Materializing digital futures: touch, movement, sound and vision” (2022, 5 citations), critically examines how digital and visual media permeate everyday life—from smart home devices to social media—and how these technologies transform human sensory and physical experience. This work has been influential in framing the materiality of digital culture for scholars in performance studies and human-computer interaction. In her collaborative study “Dance between robot and human” (2016, 2 citations), Vincent investigates the unique challenges and possibilities of improvised duets between human dancers and artificially intelligent performing agents. She demonstrates that dance, as an inherently embodied activity, offers a powerful model for understanding how humans attune to non-human partners. Vincent’s research is notable for bridging the arts and robotics, offering fresh insights into kinesthetic empathy, agency, and the future of collaborative performance. Her work continues to inspire students and researchers exploring the creative frontiers of embodied interaction with technology.
