George Balanchine Serenade and Agon

Twyla Tharp writes in her book "The Creative Habit" about George Balanchine's choreography of abstracted gestures "that pluck a chord in us that we can't name but that resonates."

Balanchine created "beautiful plotless structures that mirror music rather than interpret it… The content is the essence of life, not the details of living." He wasn't trying to explain or tell a story with his movements. His language of movement created connections between the natural and the emotional.

I chose the example video because the movements are broken into small pieces, they are interspersed with natural movements shot from intimate range rather than performance range and the use of atypical music makes the movements seem more primal.

terminator cyborg point of view data feed

updated and dynamic, the Terminators from the Sarah Connor Chronicles have animated graphics as well as text readout. check out the show web site for a dynamic animation using the same kind of display graphics.


the classic, the original, the governator at his best.


who could resist terminator vs. robocop? yes, it's just gratuitous at this point.

I am including these screenshots from the terminator's point of view with this thought. the idea of displaying data as it is read was well imagined in the terminator movies. but imagine a future where humans can augment their natural sight with display devices that read and interpret deeper meaning to what is seen. for example, a surgeon could use a visual display that allowd them to see what is happening inside of a brain on superimposed on top of their regular vision.
