Chapter8 Kinaesthetic Traces Across Material Forms

Chapter8 Kinaesthetic Traces Across Material Forms:


Stretching the Screen's Stage
America performing artist Lois Fuller and French scientist Etienne Jules Marey created techniques that mediated and materialised body movement beyond its ephemeral ever-changing natureand sought to expand the scientific and artistic scope of movement over time with movement perception and transformation.
Marey" isolates the body into a controlled environment to capture quantitive shifts of movement over time with 'movement mapping' techniques.
He contributed to what constitutes movement and kinaesthetic knowledge, by framing amplifying and converting movement into linear, sequential, two dimensional representations
Fuller: created an expressive body-screen which transformed her body and its surrounding space into animalistic(serpentine) and elemental(fire) metaphors.
she contributed to what constitutes movement and kinaesthetic knowledge, by creating performances which transfigure the expressive materiality of bodily movement.


Fuller and body screenographies:
She extended the figurative body by transforming and chreographing movements with mechanical 뭋 electronic techniques and strategies. Fuller attached meters of white fabric 시 bamboo cane-shaped arm extensions to create a screen that enveloped her body. Using these techniques, Fuller transformed her body into illusions of fire, animals and flowers. She transformed the figurative femalebody with bodily screenographies into metamorphic and kinaesthetic sculptures.


Marey and movement mapping
Marey was framing and mapping the body by creating instruments to study the movement of animals, bodies and atmospheric elements. He developed instruments to frame, isolate, amplify, record and analyse movement.


Trajet
In trajet, the screen is not only a projection surface, but also a dynamic participant in the screenography, with video and reactions that move in relationship to the visitorin real-time. The interactive experience is articulated through motorised 녀spended screens moving in response to the visitor's path. The screens' movements introduce the visitor to alternative pathways to follow, and movements with which to play and dance. Like Fuller's undulalting screen, the movement of the screens 's ripples around the bodies of the visitors. The visitor's body in trajets has the opportunity to experience its inner-felt movements' kinaesthesia, a sense of empathy for other movements and physical connection to the images.


Cinedance
cinedance is an artform that extends both what is cinema and what is dance. This extends the body-medium of the audience through movement empathy and haptic perception with cinematic techniques of shifts in point of view, referential framing, decor, montage, compositing and so on.
