Where does the “Aerobicon / Deceptacon Dance” meme come from?

The documented source identifies the first known video as published on January 23, 2006, by YouTube user "iamthewalruss." This production shows two men in brown costumes and yellow hats performing a synchronized dance. The original choreography, named Aerobicon, was created by dancer Miguel Gutierrez and musician Howie Rigberg. It was part of the Tandemonium series created around 2000-2001 in New York. Le Tigre appreciated this creation, so the artists later performed these movements in the official music video for "Deceptacon," solidifying the link between the musical work and the subsequent viral phenomenon.
