This through the internet and the capacity of the computer to modernize hipertextual structures it will enable us to explore the relationships between the structures made out of various created to compose the "Cyberdance" . Browser art has been used by various artists as a form of poetic expression in the cybernetic space.

" Cyberdance " consists of combining elements that represent parts of the human body. A mannequin as a model was photographed in many differentes positions. These animated images of the parts of the mannequin's body, are combined with each other , and also will be related to the nomenclatures of the dance, the names of the postures and the ballet positions.

" Cyberdance " will look for the movement synchronizing the fragments of the mannequin, that won't be limited by space, but be potentialized in virtual space, exploring the relationship of the parts of the mannequin that can be developed independently: the dance of the head with the arms without the presence of the rest of the body, the dance of the legs with the trunk, the dance of the arms with the legs, the dance of the head with the trunk, trough this structure of combinations, the spectator can navigate trough the show that will be selected by him , while he click at the sensitized areas of the screen.
