Demo: how big is 1 minute?

brain storm in another class: “you already know how long is 1 minute, but how big is 1 minute?”

so I made this demo on changing the size of a cube w finger.

made by TouchDesigner + LeapMotion

(pls turn off the sound I’m doing this during a zoom meeting QwQ)

then we can collect everyones 1 minute cube and create a 10x10x10 1000 minute space.

Response to: A Letter to Dance

I like how this article redefines choreography as writing, politics and agency. In the modern world, people’s mind and body are both moving unconsciously all the time. Writing and choreography is kind of a rebel against this unconscious movement, helping us find our independence and autonomy as human beings both spiritually and physically.

Interesting ideas:

The other option is that people are too far away from each other, and that distance invites letter writing: the physicality of a text is supposed to close the physical gap itself.
a form of ‘writing’
- The word choreography is a fusion of two Greek concepts – ‘chore’ and ‘grafein’. The one signifies ‘choir’ or ‘troupe’, the other ‘to write’….What choreographers do, in this definition, is ‘draft movements’ – it is a form of writing.
- ‘Choreography’ is a mode of politics insofar as it includes the question how to organize a multitude. Choreography is about writing the ‘people’.
‘intention’ and ‘agency’
- difference between ‘dance’ and ‘people moving unconsciously’ - It is only when this group of people decide to go beyond this passive activity that one can truly speak of ‘dance’.
