I didn’t realize you were into that kinda stuff. Stumbling on Happiness is a nice book, nothing extraordinary. Vehicles, on the other hand, is f*ing awesome, perhaps only second to GEB. I currently have the Bobst copy in my possesion, in case you want it =)

Hi Norah,

Thanks for your excellent comment. On the “wha huh” experience I mentioned in my post…. Well, actually, someone made a comment recently about how you cannot learn architecture from music or dance. I actually I think this project contradicts that statement, and demonstrates that maybe there is some connection between what seem to be two unrelated fields. In the sense of truly being awe struck, by the work and the content, I think that the project is truly awesome. I really love that your center has been able to make new avenues for dance, technology and collaboration that are far beyond what might be immediately thought of when combining dance and technology or new media. I’m very interested in participating in some way. I think my interest is not only in the subject areas, but also in the collaboration between them and the idea that together they can go somewhere both subjects have never been. It’s really fascinating. You’re right that it doesn’t make sense, but it does feel right, and I think that’s what matters more.

Anyway, I’d love to hear more. And, thank you (and your students) for your comment and sharing your work.

Dear Alison, i love it that you “want to be a part” of projects like these in the future and I also love it that it both intrigues you and doesn’t make sense. I’d love to know more about the “wah huh?” aspect of your experience. We created a discovery based research space that doesn’t dictate how you experience the information but that can also leave people wanting more. What would make it make sense for you? And may I also say that from the intelligence of your post I, for one, think you DO get it. Anyway, thanks for your interest and thoughtful engagement with the material, this is all we can ask.
