Last week we presented our cello garment to the Tangible & Embedded crowd at MIT's Media Lab. The garment incorporates knitted stretch sensing being developd by Martha Glazzard to feed gestural data back into the performance in real time. The shirt was fitted for Peter Gregson, who does a lot of work with digital music, especially for New Media Scotland's 10th anniversary event last year, and has recently evolved from a proof of concept to a more exciting stage, where we can see the potential for integrated performance and production of new music. Yann Seznec was responsible for the sound design, and also created this video of the work in rehearsal.
Martha recently embarked on her MA at Nottingham Trent University, exploring further the potential functionality and technical issues inherent in knitted structures for wearable circuits (sample above), and we hope to continue the work through movement and choreography.More information on the project can be found on my website website.

For anybody interested, I am organising a group of works that will be touring public spaces in the UK this summer. The project may not be for everyone, as the works will not always be screened on a large screen and with a silent attentive audience. The works will always be screened with sound - in shops, bars, outdoor public spaces etc.If you are interested in the project and would like your work to have the chance to be shown to a wide public audience I'd love to receive your work. email circuitsoup@gmail.com or go to http://www.circuitsoup.com for more details.

I am frankly overwhelmed by the fact that I have am just entering the world of dance and technology.The possibilities at the intersection of movement- something so organic, and video- purely technological, are explosive. I was going to write this post about a video on Movement Research:http://www.dance-tech.net/video/movement-research-theResearch that is "process-oriented rather than product oriented" and public engagement in this process fascinates me. The more I surfed around dance-tech.net, the deeper I swam through crazy editing, choreography and some delicious music. Here's a quick shout-out to Carol Hess for bringing us to this website; thank you! I am now addicted.Tonight I was hooked on Cari Ann Shim Sham's work.Check out her videos at:http://www.dance-tech.net/profile/CariAnnShimShamand "Are you for real?" and "January" at:http://www.cariannshimsham.com/"Are you for real?" struck me most. Time management is an all too familiar struggle among, well, everyone. I personally have a very hard time deciding where and who to give more doses of my time and energy. This causes me to often feel like I have multiple identities, which can tire a mind faster than actually working hard on a single thing. The visual of a body covered in post its explains this feeling, a feeling of only being able to show certain parts of yourself because other parts are occupied by commitments and thus hidden, so simply. The "I know that feels!" light bulb in my head instantly went off when I saw this.
