hi ursula, thanks for sharing your work :) i have looked before at html_butoh before, great project. it's a different approach than rob's question about contemporary dance using UI gestures - but perhaps more interesting in its complexity. i see people using UI gestures as hand signals in conversations etc so i'm sure these moves will be or already are appearing in contemporary dance
"far-flung follows function" looks really interesting too, altho the video wouldn't play for me. what plug-in does it need? h : ) On 13/03/15 1:01 48AM, Ursula Endlicher wrote: > hi dear helen, > > i am very interested in using computer-derived "logic" as choreography in > my works. a few years ago i did a series of live performances where > dancers used movements based on the logic of HTML tags, and currently i am > working on a new iteration of a live performance series that has > characters featured such as the "Finder" or the "MouseCursor" or > "HelperApplications", each executing their role based somewhat on what its > function is in the OS. > > you can look here: > Website Impersonations (HTML movements) http://www.ursenal.net/wi_ttmv/ > Far-Flung follows function (OSX characters) > http://farflungfollowsfunction.ursenal.net > > maybe this answers your question or probably raises more ;-) > best, > ursula > >> during the CyPosium, joseph delappe talked about his experience when he >> was performing gandhi in second life intensively every day for i forget >> how long, he said he would walk down the street & think that he could >> click on people & have information about them display over their heads >> as in SL. >> >> i can't think off the top of my head of an example of dance or >> performance that choreographs UI gestures but i bet there are some out >> there. >> >> h : ) >> >> On 12/03/15 7:36 11PM, Rob Myers wrote: >>> On 12/03/15 05:38 AM, helen varley jamieson wrote: >>>> :D or little kids trying to "swipe" the screens on the back of >>>> digital cameras when viewing photos - i've even seen kids trying to >>>> "swipe" the pages of a book, but maybe that's more just lazy >>>> page-turning than really believing it will swipe ... >>> The body language of mobile and tablet use is fascinating, the >>> postures and hand gestures.
