“DATA MOVEMENT”

• pg 8 - “it can also swing between a trace that remains and a score that generates another movement.”
  • the promise of documentation (and reinterpretation) of a score in this case is one that actually instagates the initial performance by the user?
  • Can this be done recursively? performer intepretation the score created from performing the earlier interpretation
• pg 8 “When the spectator-turned-actor makes a movement, the machine responds by printing a shape notation, giving them the desire to continue moving in order to understand more precisely the meaning of these sym-bols.”
  • this is already a feedback loop
  • can the second receipt be compared
• pg 10 “Moreover, this motion data is analyzed by algorithms and then used by people who can decipher and mo-netize it, creating a power relationship over us. Indeed, this information is not inaccessible but it requires the learning of complex languages and systems that only few people master. This tracing therefore escapes us most of the time but we are still affected. This disparity led me to give the viewer the choice to keep it or not, and thus to leave nothing behind or not (cf. p.21)”
  • Is this talking about Kinect? or Laban?
• pg 17 “According to Julien Blaine, «history is written in action, but it must be fixed in writing» [25], in other words, by means of a transcrip-tion. Archiving and documenting the work is therefore an important and necessary process. However, how does one transcribe something that is in essence elusive?”
• Receipt = transaction? scroll - endless?
