hi helen, thanks for your reply! yeah i had a feeling that 'html_butoh' might go a touch beyond your UI discussion (html_butoh rather scrutinizes the overall structure of what builds a UI) but i am very happy that you did look at the piece before and like it! very cool.
in terms of watching the demo video of 'far-flung follows function': http://farflungfollowsfunction.ursenal.net/video.html it should work now (assuming you've tried in chrome before and it didn't load, this finally made me fix the issue with QT ;-) let me know if you still have problems watching it. and as much as in 'far-flung follows' function i am playing with the idea of how the overall operating system and its UI behaves, there is a scene where two mouse cursors are struggling over the priority of the click - check out the scene below. it is though a desktop UI "movement moment", not hand-held ;-) http://farflungfollowsfunction.ursenal.net/video-excerptMICE.html happy to talk more... thanks, rob and helen for bringing up that question! :-) --ursula > 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.
