SPIDER CRAB OBJECT
to date:
…it has one limb….. currently a vision system ..hence green band…will be multi sensory.
….movement is randomly generated but bias is introduced according to the quality of the dancers movements using Laban Effort Protocols.
....think of it as being a system… which becomes complex when a human agent join it.

SNAKE OBJECT
to date:comes from ideas of engagement with an
audience…..and challenging ideas choreography….without compromising the artistic…..finding out what is useful to apply and solve problems.
it works in an improvisational way.
did not want this object to have predictable behaviour ….hence connections with complexity
SNAKE OBJECT
….the stimuli that triggers interactive come from different areas around the object…the object decides and negotiates the different stimuli in in order to respond
….it is an object that supports the user ….the viewer the audience… to explore… it helps the users to
find something out rather than having a specific movement or shape.
I am interested in breaking the boundary of the performance and the audience.. Make the audience dance rather than sit.

It is not for really specialised users like the ballet dancer as was seen here …although that is good too…..but it is an object that it should be used by different people.

INTELLIGENTCITY Proposal
…..dealt with 4D design in space in relation to dance and architecture
…..create and interactive environment for users of a shopping mall in Cambridge
…..installations in the fabric of the building drawattention to features of the architectural space
to create new experiences for users and more interest.

CONCLUSION
..this is a snapshot …..of artefacts that are beginning to move….be adaptable and responsive.
……..it is about putting in…the cultural perspective of the performance artist, which is absolutely crucial from my perspective.
….if we are going to design new systems and artefacts let’s get in there at the beginning and make them aesthetic and kinaesthetic and meaningful, along with useful.
