André Meyer, Ana Célia de Sá Earp, Adalberto Vieyra

Abstract
This work reflects on the creative intermediatic choreographic composition process developed during the making of a multimedia dance performance for scientific divulgation purposes. Aesthetic and epistemological themes are analyzed in the light of François Dagognet’s hyper phenomenology, thus making evident the primordial role of the symbol-image as one of the fundamentals of contemporary science. Contemporary art is analyzed as an interactive and plurisensorial art, emphatically multimediatic and performative. The present work applies the Helenita Sá Earp Dance Fundamentals in the choreographic aestheticization of sub-molecular, molecular and cellular conformational and structural changes that are found in the copper homeostasis model used in “Transitions” multimedia dance performance. Just as François Dagognet values the union of image and scientific information in his epistemology, this article points to an intermediatic movement poetics as a pathway for scientific divulgation in the contemporary arts realm.
