DESIGN PROCESS ISSUES EMBODIED
KNOWING contemplating embodied
performance ..and finding a new body for the
robot TECHNE BODYWORK rehearsals of deep
feelings through body sculpting METAXIS SEMIOSIS
THROUGH INSTALLATIONS TO DESIGNS words from
body work into marks into sounds composed into
installations

PROJECTION EMBODIED SIMULATION from CAD and
physical mock-ups into embodied
prototyping and prototype testing from
using the product to re-embodied
evaluation loosening bodies and bodily
relations HABITUS

SPIDER CRAB OBJECT to date it has one
limb.. currently a vision system ..hence green
bandwill be multi sensory. .movement is
randomly generated but bias is introduced
according to the quality of the dancers movements
using Laban Effort Protocols. ....think of it
as being a system which becomes complex when a
human agent join it. Professor Mick Wallis

13
SNAKE OBJECT to date comes from ideas of
engagement with an audience..and challenging
ideas choreography.without compromising the
artistic..finding out what is useful to apply
and solve problems. it works in an
improvisational way. did not want this object
to have predictable behaviour .hence
connections with complexity
14
SNAKE OBJECT .the stimuli that triggers
interactive come from different areas around the
objectthe object decides and negotiates the
different stimuli in in order to respond .it
is an object that supports the user .the viewer
the audience to explore it helps the users to
find something out rather than having a specific
movement or shape. I am interested in breaking
the boundary of the performance and the
audience.. Make the audience dance rather than
sit.

SNAKE OBJECT I am interested in breaking the
boundary of the performance and the audience..
..make the audience dance rather than sit. It
is not for really specialised users like the
ballet dancer as was seen here although that is
good too..but it is an object that it should be
used by different people. Dr Sophia Lycouris
17
INTELLIGENTCITY Proposal ..dealt with 4D
design in space in relation to dance and
architecture ..create and interactive
environment for users of a shopping mall in
Cambridge ..installations in the fabric of the
building draw attention to features of the
architectural space to create new experiences
for users and more interest. Dr Sophia Lycouris

CONCLUSION ..this is a snapshot ..of artefacts
that are beginning to move.be adaptable and
responsive. ..it is about putting inthe
cultural perspective of the performance artist,
which is absolutely crucial from my perspective.
.if we are going to design new systems and
artefacts lets get in there at the beginning and
make them aesthetic and kinaesthetic and
meaningful, along with useful. Alec Robertson
