Not only handcraft manufacture, not only artistic and poetical bringing into appearance and concrete imagery, is a bringing-forth, poiesis. Physis also, the arising of something from out of itself, is a bringing-forth, poiesis. Physis is indeed poiesis in the highest sense. For what presences by means of physis has the bursting open belonging to bringing-forth, e.g., the bursting of a blossom into bloom, in itself (en heautoi). In contrast, what is brought forth by the artisan or the artist, e.g. the silver chalice, has the bursting open belonging to bringing forth not in itself, but in another (en alloi), in the craftsman or artist.

Hi all,Just bumping this thread to keep it in mind. I’m happy to draw something up, but it would be great if someone with some inDesign (or Adobe Illustrator, or Gimp) chops could render it as something a bit more legible. I’m afraid my drawings tend to be a bit crude !—Garrett L. Johnson

** TAIN BARZSO: HOW TO connect to the Synthesis net fileserver shares:
1. Browse to sslvpn.asu.edu
This site should attempt an automatic installation of the Cisco AnyConnect
Secure Mobility Client. From my experience, it rarely works. If/when it
fails, you will have the option to manually download the software. Please
do so.
2. After installing and running, it will ask you for a server name. This
will be, again, sslvpn.asu.edu
3. When it asks for username and password, use your ASURITE credentials.
At this point, you will be connected to the ASU VPN network.
4. Connect to the share afp://amenas.dhcp.asu.edu
Username: synthesis
Password: ( ask Ozzie, assuming you are eligible according to our research access policy )
Connect to share name "Synthesis"

Hi Xin Wei and company,
Apologies for our delayed response… we just returned (to Paris) from England where we gave talks at the MIPTL lab at Sussex University, and the Digital Studio Lab at Goldsmiths (Freida says hello!). I hope the Rhythm Workshop is going well this week!
Xin Wei, we are looking forward to the “Rhythm Workshop Part 2” you have proposed. It will be great to learn about the rhythm measurement and analysis tools being developed at AME. Our software and hardware tools for sensing, processing, and documenting cardiac and respiratory activity during a range of body motion are developing well, thanks to John and Adrian, as well Emmanuel Fletty here at IRCAM.
We are wondering if it would be a possibility to spend one or two weeks either prior to or after the collective workshop as a residency at the Synthesis Lab to focus on questions and tools specific to our project. We would love to give a presentation of our work to date, and guide focused research experiments with interested participants at the lab, and in music and dance. Would this be of interest?
Some questions that are guiding our current research at IRCAM, and that we hope to share with collaborators AME in the New Year include:
1. What patterns of temporal correlation between cardiac, respiratory, and nervous function - during a range of physical activities and conditions - can be measured and observed via bio-sensing?
2. How can such patterns be used to choreograph and compose intentional arcs in the heart activity of performers over time?
3. How do humans and media negotiate between:
i. Internal, felt sense of time - as perceived
ii. Performative time - as realized
iii. Score time - as prescribed
4. To what extent does the existence of a feedback loop between humans and media – real or perceived – impact the experience of performers, and of observers?
We look forward to discussing further. Thank you very much!
Best wishes,
Teoma and John
