Filmed on location @ the Salton Sea in Southern California. Shot with a Canon 5D Mark II and edited in Final Cut Pro 7 and ProTools 8.5.

The theory behind the mathematics and choreography by Summer Jones:
As a dancer, I wanted to validate, mathematically, the notion that motion generates form: that dynamic was no mere bow to the shape of matter. I discovered when light crosses light, acceleration happens orthogonal to the plane defined by light, (amplified by the shortest distance connecting all mass in a system). I question the assumption light is dual. I suspect: small angles between light waves make small acceleration (experienced as photons) which decay “quickly” not having much power to attract or bend nearby light. Pulled along, they look like electricity. I suspect big angles make for big acceleration: if acceleration is sufficient to bend nearby light into orbit, it will. Light in orbit generates rhythm, is indicative of a black hole and looks like an electron. I find matter, not perception, (directed attention), the dependent variable in Einstein’s reason. 

I love adriene’s dance films! This is one of my favorites. The shots of the Salton Sea are haunting. And Summer Jone’s movements are beautiful to watch. love.

Congrats Adriene and Summer for finishing the film!

Continuity and acceleration are two mathematical concepts that relate the dancing body to space. This film unpacks the sensation of acceleration embedded in limits taken in the act of determining the continuous nature of movement.

The algorithmic music score for this film is based on the calculus definition for continuity. This mathematical definition is transformed into a computerized acousmatic sound element which is not fixed in the connection to the movement of dance, camera or editing, but rather is form free in its relationship and correlation through sonic expressions.

This film was made by filmmaker/sound composer Adriene Hughes, in collaboration with mathematician/choreographer Summer Jones and sonification artist Joachim Gossman.

Edward Villela’s history from Queens to ABT and how he starting dancing with George Balanchine

Go Mike Rugetta for repping Hello Kitty on PBS’s idea channel! I can see how the editing style is very a la Know Your Meme. I love how your also cover many other topics, like Instagram.

I’m still catching up with 1 year of internet-absence in 1 week and am slowly discovering everyone’s cool projects! I’ve missed so much, how will I ever catch up?
