Lian Loke, Frank Feltham and Jodie McNielly – PERFORMING MOBILITIES http://performingmobilities.mickdouglas.net Mon, 21 Dec 2015 00:56:01 +0000 en-AU hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.2 http://performingmobilities.mickdouglas.net/wp-content/uploads/webFiles/cropped-PM_ico_02-32x32.jpg Lian Loke, Frank Feltham and Jodie McNielly – PERFORMING MOBILITIES http://performingmobilities.mickdouglas.net 32 32 Jamming Gravity #2 http://performingmobilities.mickdouglas.net/symposium/assembly_symposium/jamming-gravity-2/ Fri, 02 Oct 2015 04:05:19 +0000 http://2015.performingmobilities.net/?post_type=procession_symposium&p=604 When we stand or walk, our bodies constantly cheat gravity to remain upright. The gravitational pull on our bodies can take us off-centre – it is this off-balance moment we seek to amplify and reframe as a creative act.

The Jamming Gravity series builds on earlier work into creative agency through a focus on the aesthetic and somatic capacities for bodily self-awareness of balance. This installation is part of a research project investigating the relationship between somatics and sound through physical interaction on pressure-sensitive, sound-generating surfaces.

Jamming Gravity is designed for two players to explore how their relationship to gravity through moving can create moments of connection or dissonance, in a game-like ‘movement to sound jam’. Subtle shifts in weight or micro-movements are amplified through sound. Visitors are free to play with the installation. A performance by the Interstellar Movematicians will take place on the final day.
