Dancing With Drones : Crafting Novel Artistic Expressions Through Intercorporeality
- 2019

In: Proceedings of the 2019 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems. - New York, NY, USA : ACM. - 9781450359702 ; , s. 617:1-617:12

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Movement-based interactions are gaining traction, requiring a better understanding of how such expressions are shaped by designers. Through an analysis of an artistic process aimed to deliver a commissioned opera where custom-built drones are performing on stage alongside human performers, we observed the importance of achieving an intercorporeal understanding to shape body-based emotional expressivity. Our analysis reveals how the choreographer moves herself to: (1) imitate and feel the affordances and expressivity of the drones' 'otherness' through her own bodily experience; (2) communicate to the engineer of the team how she wants to alter the drones' behaviors to be more expressive; (3) enact and interactively alter her choreography. Through months of intense development and creative work, such an intercorporeal understanding was achieved by carefully crafting the drones' behaviors, but also by the choreographer adjusting her own somatics and expressions. The choreography arose as a result of the expressivity they enabled together.

Ethics in Movement : Shaping and Being Shaped in Human-Drone Interaction
- 2020

In: CHI‘20. - New York, NY, USA : Association for Computing Machinery (ACM). - 9781450367080
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- How is ethics shaped by the particularities of a design? Through a detailed video analysis, we explore how ethicality is shaped in interaction between a choreographer, a performer and a choir of five drones, performing together on the opera stage. We pinpoint how movements enabled by the human-drone assemblage may limit or liberate artistic expressions vis-à-vis the norms of operatic performance. From a somaesthetics perspective on ethics, we show how the process of crafting rich experiences together with drones can deepen sensory appreciation skills, leading to an increased understanding of underlying somatic drivers and imposed norms. Somatic awareness thereby enables a richer repertoire of movements, expanding the ability to freely choose how to act, and cultivating empathy towards others. This shifts our understanding of ethics in HCI as solely about abstract rules or policies 'out there' to also concern the specifics of how technology informs or dictates movement and experience.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Interactivity is a unique forum of the ACM CHI Conference that showcases hands-on demonstrations, novel interactive technologies, and artistic installations. At CHI 2014, we aimed to create a "one of a CHInd" Interactivity experience with more than 60 interactive exhibits to highlight the diverse group of computer scientists, sociologists, designers, psychologists, artists, and many more that make up the CHI community.

Ombra mai fù : The interactive Singing Tree
- 2010
-
Artistic work (peer-reviewed)abstract
- OMBRA MAI FÙ This sensual tree, built of copper, reacts on the closeness of the audience. When the audience approach, the tree performs the Largo by Handel with its trembling loudspeaker-leafs. In this aria, Xerxes gives voice to his love for a tree that allows him to seek refuge in its shadow.

Swanlake Revisited : An Interactive Exhibition
- 2012
-
Artistic work (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Under Oktober förvandlas Dansmuseets underjordiska rum till en mytopoetisk sjö där besökarens närvaro får märkliga svanvarelser att dyka upp och försvinna bland virtuella vågor. I Swanlake Revisited återbesöker vi den urgamla legenden om knölsvanen som lever sitt livi stumhet, men som vid dödsögonblicket en enda gång utbrister i oerhört vacker sång.

Other publication (pop. science, debate, etc.)abstract
- Artificial Body Voices, 25-27 november 2011 Studio Acusticum i Piteå I Artificial Body Voices stiger publiken in i en mytopoetisk värld för att möta fantasieggande hybridvarelser, en dansande robotsvan, pulserande musik, underskön sång, en interaktiv röstmaskin och tretton dansare omslutna av videoanimationer som slingrande rör sig över väggar och golv. Vi vill inbjuda publiken till ett lekfullt experimentarium som undersöker människans längtan och drift att med teknologin omskapa, förändra och förlänga sina kroppsliga och röstliga förmågor.

Excerpts from the artistic process of Artificial Body Voices
- 2011
-
In: Artistic Research in Action. - Helsinki : Theatre Academy, Helsinki. - 9789529765621 ; , s. 95-112
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Artificial Body Voices is a scenic complex that explores the human desire to transform our bodies and connect to technology. Through stimulation rather than simulation this project will invite the audience to an artistic experiment connecting choreography, robotics, music, electro acoustics, vocal art, video and computer animation. This complex of bodies and voices will be developed in a process divided into a series of workshops, where the contributors share and transform the artistic material into new formats and combinations. In between the workshops the team re-cycles the material by enfolding and unfolding the material through our bodies, voices and computers.
