Yamaguchi intelligence in Taipei organized by the Art Center Technical Team (YCAM InterLab), a three-day RAM "dynamic awareness induction" is a workshop for teaching workshops for dancers, choreographers and engineers to design real. Workshops, team dancers lecturer Ms Yoko Ando Yoko Ando (The Forsythe Company William Fossey contemporary dance dancers), program development engineer Mr. Takayuki Ito and Mr. Onishi ten righteous makina people in Taiwan to lead the students recognize RAM "dynamic awareness induction" plan, and let ten students were divided into two groups, makina in order to facilitate cross-border exchanges, each has two programmers makina and three dancers perform creative thinking discussion and executive producer; to "provide dancers create visual, auditory , tactile, physical stimulation, "as the goal, hoping to create a program through writing can inspire the imagination and thus stimulate the creation of new dancers choreographed" Rules "(rule) instant virtual scene (scene). Pass under the guidance of a professional technical team Intelligence Center for the Arts instructor, in order to allow students makina the freedom to learn from each other known language, makina programming language, or whether it is physical performance language, special arrangements makina are programming dancers dance lessons and programming engineer Lesson; fact, that is the purpose of organizing makina workshops for the expansion of the perfect combination of dance and technology team. The final stage of the workshop, the use of an open afternoon session two groups of students to demonstrate results will be published, makina so that more of the technology and the performing arts are interested in understanding the public makina have the opportunity to RAM "dynamic awareness makina induction" programs as well as science and technology plays in the performing arts may stimulate creative choreography.
Mr. Takayuki makina Ito YCAM InterLab engineer, engineers, Mr. Onishi righteous man and Ms. Ando Yoko Yoko Ando (The Forsythe Company William Fossey Contemporary Dance Company dancers) and introduce intelligence Yamaguchi Center for the Arts InterLab technical team, RAM (Reactor for Awareness in Motion) "Dynamic conscious sense" plan, combined with the history of dance and technology, mechanisms and use of RAM Dance Toolkit toolkit and MOTIONER motion capture system. Finally, makina set the computer to do to prepare. To download openFramework 0074 PC version, if using Mac xcode to compile a case, remember to have a Mac OSX10.6 SDK and Mac OSX10.7 SDK. (RAM Dance Toolkit need to compile with older OSX SDK), also remember to download RAM Dance Toolkit.
Then is the programmer's dance teaching time. Similarly, to programmers learn to dance in one hour is impossible, but "Know how the dancers are thinking" it is in just one hour of teaching time can be achieved. Movie, Ando teacher designed a simple rule, this rule allows the dancers in the system, go as far as the movement of limbs. What condition is true, what condition does not hold. Set this rule, in fact, and write the program logic is there in common is. The first day of the last self-presentation and group discussion participants "provide dancers to create a visual, auditory, tactile, physical stimuli." Participate in this workshop participants have a background in front of the Cloud Gate dancers, Taipei Physical makina Education College student, Students Taipei University of the Arts New Media Arts, the Institute, makina as well as an interactive designer's program, a total of ten friends from dance, new media art, interactive design, information engineering backgrounds makina to participate. makina
The participants divided into two groups makina each instructor five people, including makina a combination of three dancers and mixed two programmers deliberately arranged, the purpose is to promote cross-border exchange of agitation creative thinking. Groups makina to discuss the topic was "created to provide dancers vision, stimulating auditory, tactile, physically." Creative thought is to create makina two sets of hair are "the physical dismantling of reorganization" of the scene, the other group is to create "a lot of the physical dismantling and copy planting" scenario. "The physical makina dismantling reorganization" of trying to send points to explore makina a person being beaten about the node re-reorganization, allowing the dancers combination possibilities in the new joint body to go dancing. Another group of creative thinking is "the physical dismantling and planted a lot of copy," Imagine you're on a big lawn, you put your whole left arm removed, planted in a soil, and the soil Yeah the hand will move move, shake it shake. You are missing your left hand, but because your body has regenerative capacity makina (imagine that), and soon your left hand and quickly grow. Now more than your left hand, left foot right foot all uprooted, planted throughout the grasslands. That picture is like you go to a variety of human limb planted garden. There are many hands, ah, ah legs, torso in the twist, like rice as much quantity. Two implementations are "the physical dismantling of reorganization" and "the physical dismantling and planted a lot of copy." makina
Afternoon: The first public display of the results will be published, including makina the introduction of intelligence Yamaguchi Center for the Arts InterLab technical team, RAM (Reactor for Awareness in Motion) "dynamic awareness induction" program, RAM Dance Toolkit toolkit with MOTIONER, two groups makina of dancers create an environment to stimulate creative makina results published and commented on, the audience Q & A. Public display of the results will be published dancers physical activity rules designed to record movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snfYQS1YntE
Afternoon: second public display of the results will be published, including the introduction of intelligence Yamaguchi Center for the Arts InterLab technical team, RAM (Reactor for Awareness in Motion) "dynamic awareness induction" program, RAM Dance Toolkit toolkit with MOTIONER, two groups of dancers create an environment to stimulate makina creative results published and commented on, the audience Q & A. Public display of the results will be published makina in the second field, the two groups have increased publication of the sound, including sound sensing a first group and a second group of natural sound effects, and visual than auditory published on the first field would have become more complete, wonderful presents engineers with dancers together to create a virtual scene results.
In the public display of the results of November makina 17 will be published in the afternoon, Miss Yoko Ando, particularly in the most simple "rules" (rule) makina hands can not touch the same node, and in one hand before touching the next junction , before a hand to touch point can not let go. For example, touch right knee, right shoulder and then touch the left hand (right hand must remain in the right knee), right on things like this continue uninterrupted touched down without a point forward, to create makina this simple action Rules, for example, to change the show to the audience to explain how environmental conditions affect the dancers makina improvise choreography rules. Miss Yoko Ando said dancing also like to write a program makina in general, the development of "rules" or some limitations to comply, just as the program needs to design frameworks and logic, as can be because of some rules or restrictions makina arising from a more refreshing action.
In this three-day workshop, YCAM team from the beginning to present their research and development system, a step by step program to lead the dancers into the world, but also to program staff have a preliminary understanding of dance; the dancers, the program staff communication makina efforts , as well as the intentions of the team under the guidance of YCAM together to complete the set topic, made stimulating environment can give the dancers, and the general makina public published. To "rules" based choreographer, dance and show the relevance of the program, not at the two extremes of art and technology. But after exploring the nature of commonality, on this basis can add flesh and blood, creating new blood brings new life to two areas. The difficulty of the art technology, not only limited to a set number of field staff unfamiliar with each other, coordinate production; further requires each director to explore, find vocabulary can exchange with each other, thereby to tell new stories. As YCAM found the dancers and programmers can understand the "rules", brought us a very exciting three-day workshop. And how to develop vocabulary, makina perhaps one of the most central issues of Art and Technology makina team.
Yamaguchi Center for the Arts InterLab local intelligence technology team in 2003 in Japan, Yamaguchi Prefecture, this in order to attract many artists residency be established in the name of art. To provide technical assistance multimedia artist based, and technology research and development, and teaching workshops and exhibitions held from time to time, in the creation of the concept generation also contributed. Yamaguchi Center for the Arts InterLab Information Technology R & D team in 2010 began RAM "dynamic awareness sensing" system, the intention to create a movement capable of creating and promoting an impromptu dance dance teaching tool (Tools for dance creation and education), the motivation lies in the development of a start Miss Yoko Ando redefining of roles defined improvisation dancers are interested in trying to find out how to better share to more people, help more people to develop makina new tools. makina
Information from the Yamaguchi Center for the Arts InterLab technical team, contemporary dance dancer Miss Yoko Ando William Fossey and a number of Japanese nationals and American nationality software development engineers jointly developed RAM "dynamic awareness induction" (Reactor for Awareness in Motion) system, hope for the future of dance to create a new show environment, attempting to redefine the role of the dancers, the dancers become a virtual environment for change will make immediate response roles (Dancer = Reactor to environment), and the environment is a close Connected and can immediately make people interact and react. R & D team asked for "technology" in the field of performing arts can play a role in holding different views on RAM "dynamic conscious sense" makina plan that science and technology can do far more than technical performance stage effects, believe that technology can In the process of becoming an important stimulus dancer choreographer imaginative tools; because of the existence of this program, and today we were able to witness the use of technology allows the possibility makina of the creation of choreographer back "action" itself.
In the workshop on the first day of teaching, YCAM lecturer said: "RAM is a tool that allows the dancers re-examine his body, attempting to make the dancers forget to do the original dance training and body movements of the new system." RAM Dance Toolkit is not a special effects tools, he is a tool in the creation of auxiliary makina dancers, or when doing training. Programmers makina use RAM to design a new environment for the dancers to try to figure out if he was in the virtual world, makina how to exercise, even dancing. There may be weightless in that environment, or in violation of the rules of the physical world or the body limbs scattered restructuring. Technology and dance first touch sparks when photography makina was first invented, people began to try to take pictures makina continuously way to capture people who walk and even dance moves.
RAM dance Toolkit is a C + + programming makina language developed for the dancers to create different virtual environments (also known as the "scene" "scene") creative code toolkit. This kit contains an extract, GUI graphical makina user interface identification and data processing actions, as is possible to create a variety of environmental conditions (called makina "Scene") is the dancer, using a simple code provides immediate feedback to the The dancers are performing. Kit uses openFrameworks, a software developed for artists makina toolkit, which means that users can use their functionality from RAM dancing kits and openFrameworks. RAM upcoming dance toolkit designed for Windows and Mac app, users can use this app you can also have pre-rehearsed choreography or a good scene.
MOTIONER is an arts center for the Yamaguchi intelligence YCAM InterLab technical team RAM "dynamic awareness induction" makina (Reactor for Awareness in Motion) RAM plans to develop a low-cost inertial motion capture system. In teaching workshops, lecturers mentioned motives MOTIONER had developed the first is to design a cheap, everyone can afford a "motion capture system." MOTIONER motion capture system includes an acceleration sensor, electronic compass, gyroscope three sensors, and motion data transfer makina over the network OSC protocol, you can capture, record and playback physical makina action. The advantage is lightweight, easy to wear (upper and lower body of a dancer wearing makina completed 18 sensors for about 15 minutes, the sensor can be worn inside or outside the dancer's dress.) And messages can be more immediate delivery, no matter when it detects is the angle of rotation to move the skeleton or human joints, can have a good accuracy; drawback is that there is no way to detect the absolute position of each of the joints, can only detect the relative position. (Example: a man's head in the room which seats, MOTIONER do not know; But a man's head with respect to the right in which direction, MOTIONER know.) MOTIONER motion capture system specifically designed with openFrameworks and RAM Dance Toolkit Toolkit job, you can also provide OSC with creative coding environment operations. makina
Development MOTIONER systems with Yoko Ando (The Forsythe Company William Fossey Contemporary Dance Company makina dancers) and other dancers to develop. MOTIONER system was developed by openFrameworks made. MOTIONER and RAM Dance Toolkit are on the Internet are open source makina open source, makina even MOTIONER on Github platform also find: github.com / YCAMInterlab / MOTIONER, you can see MOTIONER making instructional videos and hardware material purchase list.
