Thought on Final projects

so far things are coming along well for me. I think the discussion on tuesday was very helpful in condenscing my thoughts on how to present my ideas. i had a question however about movement and motion...what are we trying to answer in this final project? So far, we have pretty much allowed our own personal thoughts and interests to lead us in whatever direction we like..I have been trying to deciede what direction i want the physcial aspect of my pieces to take and I am having a hard time decieding is the idea to use the readings to create soem sort of new understanding of body, landscape, image, or are we using the first projects to sort of draw a conclusion..? these are really just my own personal musings..aslso, i agree with the idea of learning how to the the live video feed, that soudns great. i plan on taking the class again next quarter and I am still very much interested in Motion capture and the possibilities of learning how to use that sort of equipment.

Also, to adriana, when are you planning yur performance and how many performers do you need?

Another Thought...

I propose that we learn how to have wireless live video feed. So one could be outside and project inside. Aswell, multimedia that uses the world wide web. These are a few things Im interested in. I know that Accad can help give us the oppertunity to accomplish many of these desires.

looking for swing...

My other idea is to create a solo perfomance by using a swing.
Do you have any idea about how I could find one and place it in EMMA studio?

The presence of time in the space

Do these pictures remind you of something???...

Hello everybody,

I think that I would like to propose a different answer than the one that I have done for assignment #2 (=site-subjective study: exporing the subjectivity and psychology in the relations between image-body-landscape)
My knot on that it is the video editing and probably not only that...
I would like to use that so familiar to us place and do an "imaged journal" about how does this place change or stays the same until our final week of exams. I would like to film that place different times per day and almost every day.
Also, I will need performers, who are going to repeat their performance during that lenght of that time. My goal on that it will be the exploration of their physicality and their intention.

Barb's Knots

At the start of the quarter we were asked to think about our growing edges. I believe I wrote that I would like to learn about videotaping--because I have not worked with video in the digital age. I am curious about not only using the camera, but also how one edits video, etc. I don't know how much I will use this resource in the future, but I'd at least like to have a little hands-on experience.

For the same reasons as above, I would also like to know more about sound engineering.

Another "knot" for me is the desire to possibly revisit projects 2 and/or 3 to strengthen and develop them for future performance. (#2 was my solo with urn in a mountain setting. #3 was the "scale" piece that Cris and I did together with props and two spaces: the inner "home" space and the outer "away" space.) I equally desire to set out on a whole new project, but have not yet settled on my "inspiration." I did spend all afternoon reviewing favorite poems and ideas from the book "Topophilia" in the hopes of finding a light bulb moment. So far the phrase that keeps coming to mind is: . . . the search for inspiration holds me firmly in its grip . . .

Are any of you revisiting past projects, or are you moving on to fresh new soil? So many possibilities, so little time. This is ever one of my major Struggles!

gps

I am also interested in using gps and having a workshop on it. Here is a website that I found : http://locative.x-i.nett. I thought it was very interesting.

gps anyone?

i know that herb and i are interested, anyone else?

I'm not only curious about using GPS receivers
and portable units, but also the output... graphically and
statistically. the interfaces, in relation to how they translate to
images and charts, as well as which units and companies do this best,
interest me greatly.
