Here, Atlas has created intricately choreographed video installations that remind us of the presence of numbered sequences directing our lives, their ever invisible existence underscoring every bit of coding that occurs in the invisible netherworld of the Internet. Here, Atlas abandons the human body to examine the prevalence of numerical figures in our lives, animating a constantly expanding and contracting universe based on six digits (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-like the faces of a die). On June 3, the Museum of Modern Art, New York, will open Inbox: Charles Atlas: The Illusion of Democracy, an installation on view through July 30, 2017. Atlas began collaborating with the likes of Andy Warhol, Marina Abramović, Nam June Paik, and Michael Clark, among other artists, dancers, musicians, and poets to explore the possibilities of the interplay between the moving camera and more traditional forms of art. In 1983, Atlas left the company to do his own work, embracing the ease of the video camera, which fused the possibilities of film with the techniques and distribution possibilities of television.

Soon Atlas and Cunningham began to create “media-dance,” a partnership between the camera and the performer where they move together for a series of dance performances designed specifically for film-absorbing many of the lessons that Marcel Duchamp introduced earlier in the century.
