mimi spoke at the movement-lab at barnard about a project she did with the graham technique (in dance). it was perhaps one of the best talks i’ve ever attended.
she first began to analyse movements in the graham technique, and understood that it was influential (by looking at movements after it). then, she looked at the world around her and decoded human-human interactions into a matrix of sorts; like this earlier work by her:
she then used computation to manipulate playback times of hyper-slow footage of a dancer performing movements using the graham technique, to make us feel the different rules of interaction that she had earlier decoded.
