Dear Mike , Julie, Varsha, Pavan,
Everyone: Beginning to carry out some "correlation” experiments as core scientific research of the LRR is a very high priority for Synthesis. So thanks to Mike for dong this. (We’ll want to continue this through the year until we generate some
publishable insights. :)
I would like to make sure that Pavan is in the loop here with his group. The goal for "correlation experiments” during the LRR Nov 17-26 is pretty concrete. We want to discover some
non-isomorphic relations between co-movement, movement by ensembles (or individuals) that those people themselves claim are
(1) “correlated”, mutually responding in some way, or
(2) anticipate or retrospect activity,
either among the humans or the light fields.
(1) Julie and Varsha and Mike can go through some movement “games” / studies responding to the questions laid out in the Lighting and Rhythm workshop . See the Etudes Motivating
Questions .
(2) Xin Wei, Pavan and Pavan’s group can witness this work, talk with Julie Mike and Varsha,
review videos simultaneously with streams of data as well as correlation
and look at Mike’s data from accelerometers and correlation computations.
Mike’s recorded data streams concurrent with video of activity.
( Hint: QT Screen-recording off of Jitter patches does the job:
a lesson for TMLabbers who would like to do parallel research in this domain :)
Chris R : I’ll make myself available after 5:30 or on the weekends too, to fit Julie, Mike Varsha’s availability.
Xin Wei

Subject: Meetings with Xin Wei during Rhythm and Lighting Workshop
From: mkrzyzan@asu.edu

Xin Wei wanted me to ask you if we can schedule time together in iStage during the Rhythm and Lighting workshop to work on dancer correlation. He suggested the Tuesday and Thursday afternoons (Nov 18, 20, 25, 27), and possibly on the afternoon of the 24th when Michael Montanaro is here.
Julie and Varsha, what are your schedules like at these times? Julie, I know you work during the day, but we can work around your schedules, both of you...
