MARIA CARUSO AND BODIOGRAPHY

Medicine has long been regarded as much art as science, but a "contemporary ballet" company in Pittsburgh is taking the concept where it may never have gone before.

Called Bodiography and led by 30-year-old choreographer Maria Caruso, the troupe last year staged Heart: Function versus Emotion, a production about heart transplantation that featured real-life organ recipients and transplant surgeon Robert Kormos of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center (UPMC).

TakePlace was made with you in mind It's about ideas and innovation, creative perspectives, and solutions. We're advocates for change, because change needs friends. We explore complex systems, adaptive agents, modeling, simulation, artificial life, and complex (information, biological, and social) networks. We especially focus on the Web as a complex information network in which we leave abundant traces of our social and semantic activities: what we do, what we are interested in, whom we talk to, what knowledge we acquire and contribute. Our research spans from modeling the dynamic processes that occur on the Web (how information networks grow and evolve, how individual and collective traffic patterns emerge, how attention bursts are generated and shaped by social and search tools) to designing tools that mine the Web to build better search, navigation, management, and recommendation tools (where ‘better’ means more intelligent, autonomous, robust, personalized, contextual, scalable, adaptive, and so on).
