What seems to be escaping is an artistic, metaphoric and content-based consideration of the thing being computized within a performance work. Matching the choice of sensing tool\/system\/instrument to the content of any given work that wants a sensing tool\/system\/instrument in it. Giving deep thought to the kind of sensing tool\/system\/instrument and how it will play on the content AND meaning AND experience AND its necessity in the making. BECAUSE each sensing tool\/system\/instrument will impose a kind of choreography on the maker. BECAUSE the sensing tool\/system\/instrument is the conduit between the input (the kind of sensing that is measured from a body) and the output (the media result in sound\/image\/etc). Why does an artist choose to express a work with a guitar over a piano, a paint brush over clay, a Kinect camera over a costume measuring flexion\/extension\u2026the method of the sensing SHOULD be chosen to match the nature\/quality of the work that wants to be made with\/for it. Is that happening? How are movement artists choosing the systems they are working with\/for? If you are the body\/dancer\/choreographer are you choosing your sensing tool\/system\/instrument or are you being given an \u201copportunity\u201d by a computer-based artist to make for the tool\/system\/instrument they devised? Are you being asked to explore a \u201cspecial sensing machine\u201d that you are unfamiliar with? Are movement artists being handed guitars and asked to make a work with\/for it even though they have never played a guitar before? And if so, how well-crafted can the resulting works be? Or are these tool\/system\/instruments simply controllers with mutable outputs and therefore contain no intrinsic poetic meaning or require any special skill to play – just a joystick used for any game. Discuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
