Inspiration

After viewing Phil Taylor's work "Doomsplay" which can be found at www.phildot.com, I was reminded of the movements made by some people while they are playing the therimin. I have an interest in music, but for those who don't know what a theremin is, it is an electronic instrument that is played by moving the hands closer and further away from it... but the hands never actually touch it.



I can see a conceptual parallel between what KIB309 aims to teach us about moving away from the tradition keyboard/mouse/screen interactive setup, and the way that the theremin moves away from traditional instruments in the way it is used.

Welcome

Hi everyone and welcome to my (Peter's) Embodied Interaction blog. Here I will be posting inspiration, ideas and theory relating to my Embodied Interaction course.
