+Graffiti Dance
Allow people to create political/news charged graffiti
Allow local and world images and texts
Simplify the technology, focus on the work
Have Meaningful and Observable Phenomena: not random or
free flowing. Movement from dancers to reflect activity on the
projection. (Think Richard Coyne Tuning)
Have Professionals in a close interaction with participants
Score Creation from Log Analysis (which didn’t quite happen)

+Controlling Relationships
+Controlling Relationships
We can’t quite see the relationship between
what were doing and what the dancers
are doing but I think that might be the idea
of it. If you knew, if you could directly see
the connection between the dancing and
the controlling then you might start to try
to manipulate it. But right now we cant
quite do that. (A1)
+Who’s in control?
+Who’s in control?
They thought we were controlling the
images, once they learned that they
were controlling it was interesting to
see their delight in that and how it
brought them to a new place of play
with the phones and then they got a
little bit more engaged and excited.

+Body Moving
+Body Moving
“I want to just start moving my
body so much even though I
know it doesn’t make a
difference.” (A3)
+Not afraid
+Not afraid
I think this audience was definitely
not afraid of approaching us to
find out how everything worked,
ya the seemed to enjoy figuring
out they could make us do stuff.

+Amateur-to-Professional interaction
+Amateur-to-Professional interaction
We worked really close to the
people watching the performance
and installation and we were able
to hear their own responses to
what was going on. (D3)
+Movement is not a proxy.
+ Thanks!To my fellow artists (Renata
&Jürgen). Also to our amazing
dancers Christy Funsch,
NolSimonse, and Erin Mei-Ling
Stuart; their contribution, advise, and
patience during many a rehearsal
section.
