Kinetech Arts, founded in 2013 by scientist Weidong Yang and dancer and choreographer Daiane Lopes da Silva, combines the work of dancers, scientists, and digital artists to create innovative and socially responsible performances. Kinetech Arts work has been supported by Zellerbach Family Foundation, CA$H Grant, The Phyllis C. Wattis Foundation, and CounterPulse. Each year, KA produces multiple performances and over 50 other public event.At Kinetech Arts, we strive to heal the division of communities by bringing them together and helping them connect, create and learn from one another. Our weekly open lab is a safe environment for people with different backgrounds to ask questions, explore, collaborate and create through a collaborative process. Our monthly Featured Artist Presentation (KAFAP) invites two artists and scientists to share their work and research.Since 2014, KA organizes the annual Dance Hack Festival, in collaboration with CounterPulse since 2016. This Festival is a two day of experimentation and workshop free for local and international participants. Over 80 participants work closely in teams here in SF and more in Amsterdam, London and other locations, create and share their prototypes in a spontaneous and vibrant environment.
