Dear TMLabbers,
I spent the day @ UC Davis visiting Anthro / STS friends, plus a CAVE at geosciences research center. There is one interesting opening for Ozone + dance. -- to be described in a proper trip report. Meanwhile, in lieu of a trip report:
(1) Can someone in PPLSS please add
Natasha Myers <nmyers@yorku.ca>
Asst Professor, York University
Department of Anthropology, and Program in Science and Technology Studies
to our PLSS list? Natasha's first training was in botany, and has done informal dance work. She has a PhD from MIT / STS, 2007. We've had promising conversations @ MIT and Davis about vegetal time, plant chemistry, and may be able to organize a movement workshop in April, based on
(1.1) "exact sensory perception" of plants (a poor name for a rich creative opening from PLSS work);
(1.2) Poly-temporal movement. (could be interesting for research in poly-scale temporal textures; rate-based band-filtering of video input, an idea I had for an easy application of NATO/Jitter processing to HMD's, used by US choreograher & physicist with whom Natasha has worked @ SLC.)
If there is interest.
According to this experiment, the human body may emit light ( on the order of 3K photons / cm^2).
