# Uncanny Text (2019)

An experimental poetic text based on the Uncanny Robots project.

Edited versions of dancer Belinda McGuire’s choreographic notes are presented alongside the robot’s position data stream, creating a conversation between the human and robot movements in a written form. It was published in the **Belfield Literary Review: New TransAtlantic Dialogues**, edited by Gregory Betts and Lucy Collins, Spring 2021, pp. 96–99.
