The body as an architecture of operation in the world
• extended arm
• Involuntary movement
• Avatar movement
• Telematics - physical communications across distance between bodies/machines in distant locations.
• Dance as hull (choreo-topologies/environments, adaptive/animate forms, soft space)
• The body as data: motion extraction
