New Scenic Subjects : Explorations of a System of Autonomous On-Stage Observers
- 2016
-
In: CHI EA '16. - New York : ACM Digital Library. - 9781450340823 ; , s. 265-268
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper describes a full body interactive performance system where the users interact with a set of non-human observers. An observer is a sculptural scenic presence, vaguely anthropomorphic, equipped with a camera, that analyses the movements of the users, and creates a soundscape. The observers are movable but not mobile, meaning that their placement on stage defines a set of overlapping layers of activation for the users to interact with. This work aims to answer questions on what scenic subjects emerge from interacting with the observers, what new identities and relationships are established, and how we can use emotional and scenic components of these relationships to find new expressive qualities in stage productions

Singing Interaction : Embodied Instruments for Musical Expression in Opera
- 2014
-
In: Leonardo music journal. - : MIT Press Journals. - 0961-1215 .- 1531-4812. ; 24, s. 7-12
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the opera Sing the Body Electric! A Corporatorio, artists from the disciplines of opera, dance and the development of new musical instruments collaborated to create an onstage fusion of different technologies and artistic practices that connected performer, scenography and instrument. Gestures and movements of singers were captured by custom-built technologies. The singers also used custom-built technologies for transforming their vocal qualities and for creating synthesized accompaniment in real time. In this way the singers’ bodily musical processes further extended their vocal performances, rooted in operatic praxis, allowing for heightened expressivity and emergent scenic subjects.

Uncanny materialities : Digital Strategies for Staging Supernatural Themes Drawn from Medieval Ballads
- 2017
-
In: Leonardo music journal. - Cambridge : MIT Press. - 0961-1215 .- 1531-4812. ; 27:1, s. 62-66
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the medieval tradition of ballads, a recurring theme is that of transformation. In a staged concert for chamber orchestra, singers and dancers called Varelser och Ballader (Beings and Ballads), we explored this theme using ballads coupled with contemporary poetry and new music. The performance made use of custom-made digital musical instruments, using video analysis and large-scale physical interfaces for transformative purposes. In this article, we describe the piece itself as well as how uncanny qualities of the digital were used to emphasize eerie themes of transformation and deception by the supernatural beings found in the medieval ballads.

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.

In: interactions. - : ACM. - 1072-5520 .- 1558-3449. ; 21:5, s. 6-9
-
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.

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.
