Interesting videos. I do prefer the first for there is a message. That the human behind the tech will always be the value and where true essence exists.

The second video I still feel that there is a human behind the actions of both physical forms and there is also no powerful narrative which would leave one thinking deeper on the matter.

I do agree with your view though. That technology and artificial intelligence will no doubt enter the art space and take it to a new level. As it currently exists however, it is still human in charge.

Thinking ahead though, I can imagine a robot which perfects break dancing and the art of spinning on one's head. Creating some spectacular visuals. I picture a humanoid, able to truly recognize and express emotion that a new form of contemporary dance will be realized.

The Existential Element is at the root of dance imo. When expressed solely from the non biological. It would be immensely powerful as we would be able to observe, relate but also be left with wonder. Similar to when one watches a plant grow in timelapse. One can appreciate the beauty but never completely comprehend 'being' from it's perspective.

Well done for what you are doing also. I really have a positive view and strong belief for Appics. I am looking forward to it's existence and greatly looking forward to it succeeding and fulfilling it's mission.
