It was Wednesday. 6 pm. You should know the drill by now. First, some hot takes on what constitutes ART.
Then, we had Dai and Irene play around with a cool score + green screens, dancing across many many miles through zoom and Wei's tech magic. And we even got a behind the scenes look through Zoom gallery view.
Both dancers couldn't really see each other or the screens but did follow the same score.
<Insert all the classic philosophical questions about art and dance and connecting and screens during pandemic time.>
And then at last, we wanted everyone to be able to annotate on each other's faces and interact with each other ON each other's screens and profiles.
But this is the way it panned out.
And then we tried to "push" a cursor around when it was actually Alex moving the cursor according to how she felt like the cursor would move if it were really being pushed by people on the screen.
Behind the scenes? Even more chaotic.
If you've got some hot takes about whether bananas duct-taped to walls are art or if you want to play a fake game where Alex Law's cursor responds to your movements and have Alex Law attempt to replicate the laws of physics as if she were video game code run by a computer, come join us at Kinetech Arts -- subscribe to our meetup group is here and come do weird stuff for us at 6-7:15 PM Pacific time on Wednesdays!
