Abstract: This article explores how choreography can serve as a critical framework for analysing and intervening in the affective economies of digital platforms. Building on André Lepecki’s notion of choreography as a “technique designed to capture actions,” it is examined as a medium that abstracts movement into data, enabling further technical or creative processes. Drawing on theories from dance studies, media theory, and affect theory, this articlefexamines choreography’s capacity to expose, modulate, andfreconfigure proximity and distance. It explores how affect, gaze, and movement are governed, simulated, and potentially subverted within platform cultures. The argument is grounded in case studies ranging from Mette Ingvartsen’s performance 50/50 to Candela Capitán’s SOLAS. These examples illuminate how bodies and affects are choreographed not only on stage but within digital architectures, offering tools to think against the commodification of intimacy.
