The last sketches

Perhaps I had too high thoughts of what we are able to do because this week the work hasn’t turned out the way I wished. A lot of time has gone to make it more of a socially kinetic interaction, and I think we have made progress. Now both person controllers bother the volume and the pitch making it possible to interfere och cooperate in how the sound should be. We also managed to do some quick sketches where we tried different body parts. Still, I feel that we don’t have time to test the movements and work with them to find nuances in the interaction and how to use this for the control so we can reach a more nuanced control and a richer expressivity. We also didn’t manage to use our desired movement for the arms because of our ability to make the code work. So instead we needed to go back to the wrist movement. It would have been interesting to test the movements that we have body stormed but sometimes we just don’t know how to make that happen and after trying for a while we need to continue on with something else.

two people controlling freq(nose) and the vol(right wrist) depending on how close you are to each other

two persons controlling the frequency with their arms

tow persons controlling the frequency with arms and volume by squatting

This was our last sketch, and I feel that we were still just in the beginning of exploring and creating a kinaesthetic interaction, but this is as far as we managed to come.
