I went to a Christmas party last night and got one of the nicest Christmas presents I've ever received: a handmade sterling silver anklet with reticulated dangles and a cuttle cast clasp. Thank you so very much, Lacey! It's perfect!
I predict the rest of my Christmas gifts will be a Toblerone bar, some bubble bath, an Avon underarm deoderant, and several bars of glycerine soap. Aside from the chocolate, my Christmas hauls regularly seem to generically insist I don't bathe enough. It's a bit worrisome.
In other news, I'm working on an artistic grant proposal with f00. A $2000 grant is available for artists who merge technology with art, and I have an idea which allows the audience to experience the viewpoint of the dancer while watching a dance performance. I think it's a really neat idea, and if I'm lucky, we'll get the moolah to pull it off. I just have to get the proposal shipped off by the beginning of January.
If the grant was a bit larger, and if there was more time involved, I'd like to develop a performance melding my heart as percussion for a drum solo dance performance. I'm not certain how to get the electrodes to stay put, though. EEGs would be pretty funky, too, especially if fed into some sort of music generating software. Any ideas on how to make this come into fruition?

I've also seen exhibits where the music is generated by the movements of the listener - think *theremin*, mm?

Cool idea altogether! Send me a video.

I`ve been to one of L. Anderson`s live shows and its difficult to describe the flavor of dance, edutainment and performance art this women brewed up.
It was`nt just a heartbeat converter, her dance is also the music best
described as "modern primitive", Anderson studied Tibitian hand gestures that denoted words and incorperated this into her perfomances.
