Handy Handbook of Hands
(2022)
Handy Handbook of Hands is about the finger binary systems. The first part of this book shows how to count and display binary numbers on the fingers. In the second part, a binary finger alphabet is developed that enables the communication of words with fingers.
Children learn to count with their fingers at an early age. The Latin word for fingers or toes “digitus” is the root of the English word digit. A normal person has, if nothing unforeseen happens, five digits on each hand. This limits the counting of the fingers to ten. By using binary numbers with the fingers of one or both hands, it is possible to count and display all numbers from 0 to 1023.
Counting in binary is one thing, but fingers can switch from “counting mode” to “text mode”. The binary finger alphabet technique allows communicating words and even entire sentences with the fingers. It is similar to Morse code and gives each letter of the alphabet a specific finger constellation. It is structured from simple finger constellations for the most commonly used letters of the English alphabet to more difficult constellations for rare letters.
New method for the viole d'amour (the love viol) : its origin and history and art of playing it
(1885)
In this article, the Moscow Conceptualist Vadim Zakharov reflects on the intertwinement of his artistic practice and his work as book designer. One of the main insights is that, for Zakharov, art becomes interesting when it emerges from, and yet goes beyond, work. This transgression is minimal, but it is founded in the particular experience of, and reflection on, work. Zakharov’s knowledge of book design becomes a means for his artistic expression. This article implies a critique of the indeterminate potentiality of the artist, herewith questioning the post-medium condition of art.
Originally, music choreography works of rhythm are closely tied to music and seek the most comprehensive possible transfer of all musical parameters into spatio-temporal as well as dynamic correspondences. Following the boundary-expanding developments in music and dance from the 1960s onwards, other intermedial forms of reference have become conceivable. Dorothea Weise breaks these down exemplarily and presents a system (to be questioned critically and thought through further).
The transmission of musical processes via corresponding movement sequences can be seen as the foundation of Dalcroze Eurhythmics. Accordingly, the sensibility for rhythm and its inherent interplay of tension and relaxation in space and time is significant for the embodied visualisation of music. For creating wider aesthetic experiences and confrontation with the rhythmical structures of music and other artistic expressions—such as visual arts and literature—it can be helpful to take a look at other concepts of rhythm. Recent theories about rhythm from the music theorists Steffen A. Schmidt and Christopher Hasty, as well as the philosophical thoughts about speech from Ludwig Wittgenstein, described as «Saying and Showing», open up additional structures that may enrich the process of artistic creation and performance in eurhythmics.
Choreomusical work opens a world of images and signs beyond language. The expressiveness of what is heard and seen merges with the tacit-knowing-view of the viewer and the listener.
Meaningful resonances and processes of understanding develop along the structure of the work and within the individual construct of implicit and explicit knowledge of the audience. In this process, perception plays a major role. Aside from the obvious processing of acoustic and
visual stimuli, this paper will look at the role of proprioception, especially the kinaesthetic sense, with regard to its role as intermediary and creator in the process of perception.
Jumping over one's own shadow and expanding boundaries are frequent demands in the field of music and movement through the special methodological possibilities of eurhythmics. This is true for the learners as well as for the teachers. With a view to the concept of perception of constructivism, it is first clarified why perceptions are always individual and bound to subjective experiences. Then the ‘Gegen-Stand’ comes into play as a surface of friction and a basis for an active and reflective engagement that is capable of producing new results.
Introduction
Following their first meeting in Düsseldorf in 1961, Joseph Beuys and Nam June Paik began their lifelong series of artistic collaborations so-called EURASIA. Sharing a common interest in Europe and Asia, they started to consider Europe (=West) and Asia (=East) as one continental culture, and tried to connect them as EURASIA.
Containing Europe and Asia, Eurasia is one continuous mass of land. Europe and Asia, or West and East are merely imaginary divisions, but once they are named Europe and Asia or West and East, this fixed division makes it difficult to understand that these two areas are in fact one continent with common roots, and that they developed through mutual influence. To realize the continuity of Europe and Asia and understand how to connect these two regions is becoming an urgent question.
In our globalized world, it is becoming impossible to uphold protection through the entity of the nation-state, which defines the enemy as being outside the nation. In order to find an alternative to the nation-state, we need to look back in history and restructure the world on a more abstract level; in other words, the sublation of Westphalian sovereignty which developed after the Thirty Years’ War is now required.
Also if Asia becomes one political entity, just as Europe is becoming one political entity, the tension between Europe and Asia will be intense; it will be no different from that between nations, which caused two World Wars. As Asia, a large part of which was once colonized by Europe, begins to gain political and economical power, it becomes necessary to prepare a plan to reconcile Europe and Asia. Meanwhile, if Eurasia is united as an expansion of the nation-state, the result may be regional hegemony with a one-sided national perspective, similar to that of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere led by the Empire of Japan. The Eurasian Economic Union led by Vladimir Putin’s Russian Federation threatens to make the same mistake. Bearing in mind the fact that the bloc economy triggered World War II, to connect Europe and Asia while eschewing regional hegemony will be crucial for our co-existence in the 21st century.
Having endured World War II, both Joseph Beuys and Nam June Paik were aware of the contradictions of modernity and the nation-state which originated in Europe. They reflected on how to overcome divisions such as those between nations, between Europe and Asia in colonial history, and between East and West during the Cold War at that time. Eliminating borders, Beuys and Paik’s utopian vision of EURASIA is an abstract and archetypical metaphor for connecting Europe and Asia, West and East, or two opposite things into one, and it will give us a hint on how to overcome the divisions caused by modernity.
DRAFTS#3
(2022)
DRAFTS#3 invited more than 80 designers, design researchers, and design students to discuss the role of artifacts in research and design activities within disciplines such as fashion, textile, and interaction design through the means of two exhibitions and one symposium.
A cooperation between the Swedish School of Textiles – University of Borås and designtransfer – UdK Berlin.
Spaces of Collectivity
(2021)
How is it to act collectively when each one of us brings our own
perspective, values, assumptions, and also our own language? How does
from the many become ‘one’? What compromises does one need to make on the
way? These were the questions we explored during the workshop Spaces of
Collectivity. The aim was to collectively experience and enjoy space,
while noticing how different our perspectives on it are, and how being
able to talk about them, is key to any collective act of visioning,
making or caring for space. Maps, as final products, and map-making, as
the process of making these, became the tools to visualise and thus be
able to better discuss these challenges.
