Summary/Abstract: This paper examines YangBOT through the lens of dance theory and technological aesthetics, providing an analysis of the performance across five interrelated analytical dimensions: movement databases, stage interaction, techno-aesthetic tension, cultural regeneration, and creative sovereignty. The study demonstrates how algorithmic systems and human performers jointly construct meaning, expand the boundaries of choreographic agency, and position technological innovation as an active agent in contemporary performative culture.
