Emanent new-work in the true world Please note: If you check http://www.alansondheim.org/ every few days, just click on recent images/videos/textfiles. We're beginning radio-work in relation to the National Radio Quiet Zone in West Virginia. Sedlock works with a vibration transducer, sensitive from around .1hz-400hz, as well as a NASA Inspire very low frequency radio and long-wire antenna. Foofwa d'Imobilite and Sedlock completed a set of split-node motion capture work; I've been putting up examples. Azure, Foofwa, and Sedlock worked on a group of large laser scans with and without movement; these are still being processed. Abjection smears sound/space/time/inscription across vibration, vlf radio, scan, motion capture - work either at the limit, or smeared from the center. The center dissolves with sheave-skin but recuperates with shell thickening in 3d post-processing software. So far I'm fascinated by the images/sounds; although the differences with the avatar/mocap videos may appear minute, they represent fairly large- scale behavior differences in the studio.
