Notes for Class http://www.alansondheim.org/blankspace.jpg https://youtu.be/_O1S1z41ib8 Video I presented in Andrew Klobucar's class at NJIT and used the occasion to go through my work in relation to motion capture and electronic writing. And I found something called blankspace.mp4 which I didn't remember and has its date of origin erased. Below is a description of my presentation as well as a URL for the current YouTube site. The presentation didn't include this piece, however, which makes it (the piece) peripheral to the presentation but central here. So goes the semantic strings of confused articulation. (And again thank you Andrew for the opportunity.) Electronic writing etc. for me - 1. related to the body and mind, always an organism is present even if in the background. - always thinking of choreography choreography shuttles between radical experimentation with mocap and body imitations. images of wounded avatars (woundatars), sexual avatars, hysterias, fauna and flora ... 1a. All achieved through hacks of various sorts: rewriting equations (transforming the interior of the machinery), remapping the body (transforming the assignment of nodes on the body), other modifications (magnets interfering with signals and so forth) 2. involves hacking or extending applications / software / hardware into glitch realms - mistakes, extensions, remappings, etc. 2a. applications layering and interferences: what signals pass where? 3. uses a lot of "at hand" software - voice to text, text to voice, alpha layer removal, bots within radegast, etc. 4. exploratory exploratory - always exploring, bodies merging with text, image; laser and other mappings distorted by subject movement and overloaded scans, etc. 5. uses - new ways of envisioning bodies and technologies, forms of resistance, poesis, etc. - _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] https://lists.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
