Ideas for social distancing creative wellbeing

martin_kemner

Hi, a lot of my dancer friends are pretty unhappy about not moving together with their colleagues. Id like to let people dance together which are actually in different places and want people to watch this. So I got myself some dancers, OBS-Software for streaming an of course Izzy. I planned to syphon two Videostreams from Skype or zoom or whatever. unfortunately my favorite syphon server (Syphoner) does not work with my Mac running on Catalina. I couldn't find anything (internet shows me a lot of plumbing stuff) so I beg you to tell me: what syphon server can I use to realize this simple idea which can be a real thing (as im told by my dancing friends) Thanx

Michel

@martin_kemner

can't you use OBS with ndi or syphon to do that?

@michel OBS and Izzy are fine. My problem is to put the video streamy of the two dancers (via Skype i.e.) into Izzy.

I would check out AirServer for syphon into Isadora

OBS can capture any window on your computer and from there you can send it via syphon. But I am just seeing it has quite a delay compared to Syphoner.

hello, we have to cancel 10 shows in muenster, koeln and berlin volksbuehne. we also have to break the rehersals for some days, but be able to

stay at the recidence at all. so we has already an live strem in our concept, and at the end one dancer has to leave us, so we decided to show

the point we reached in the rehersals in a kind of tv-show.

so we did this on the 18th live with no technicans and no light control, without audio_mixer or some kind of support for that,

from the rehersal studio, and repeat the recording next day.

the linked video is uncutted, so the show starts around 01:15:00,

stay tuned,

I'm not familiar with community softwares like Zoom

We just send you a link and you participate from a browser viewport or if you have the desktop application. https://zoom.us/

These are the times currently proposed:

What time zone are you in?

Clement

@bonemap

Thank you for the info, I live in France so my Time Zone is UTC+1.

II downloaded the Client Zoom file, without mail registration, I hope it is sufficient.

I checked the 2 dates suggested in the Doodle but I'm not sure to have something ready for tomorrow Wednesday 25... ( it will be Thursday for you :)

Can we show media and video through the browser viewport ?

Thx, see you.

It is possible to show media and share screens etc. we can try it out. Because of the increased amount of online traffic it might be slow unfortunately. But the first session will test that.

I don't think, I will be able to contribute with so much tonight (about 1min) . (Un)fortunately my work made progress clarifying our online expectations and I have to follow up on that. But I happily join for a technical check in tonight... ;o) Best wishes

Hi Tom,

I think it will work to tryout the technology and do some tests. I know there has been a big spike in online use of Zoom and there may be some significant latency to navigate. See you online then.

Best wishes

@tomthebom, @Clement, @Woland,
Thanks for joining the Art Machines #1 session. We were inspired by Clement’s mini thesis on the nature of time and emotion in the filmed image. I thought that was a very interesting way to think about the visual language of choreographed images. It was good to have a ’Isadora clinic’ session to better understand the limitations of working with sound in Isadora when simultaneously streaming a live feed through Zoom. We made some progress but did not answer all of the questions that came up.

Rebecca and I are looking forward to the next session. Art Machines #2 and Isadora Clinic next week.

Best wishes

@bonemap, @Clement, @Woland

Thanks for a good start. I managed to get through my workday, slept and tried to recap, what we have been talking about.
@Clement: I am not sure, if I really got the full idea of your project. It would be nice to see, how Izzy comes into the game.
But it was definitely interesting to hear about it.
Most of all I was happy to meet you and share time with you. It is an odd thought, that we are locked down around the globe.
And in the same time France feels like next door and Australia seems to be just around the corner...

I tried to repatch my project, but I was not very successful tweaking my patch.
Obviously I was to tired ;o)

@bonemap: I was quite impressed by your puppet actor (and Rebeccas performance ;o): For a puppeteer, this has always been a dream to get access to a tool, that allows theses natural movements.
Is there any chance to look at the implementation of the 3d tree into the skeleton actor in the future?... As far as I remember, it is quite some math to connect the xyz coordinates to the joints of the skeleton.

Looking forward seeing you next week, best wishes, Tom

Clement

@bonemap, @tomthebom, @Woland,

Thank you for setting up this place of expression and sharing ideas, it's a good way to meet other users and it was nice to share time with you.

@bonemap your work with particle actor and the one with depth camera are amazing, as usual :)
It's a good idea to look after band frequences to find transition times and recall preset forms, and your 3D model made with tree branches is great : it reminds me what you did with 3D neuron from Eyewire :

@tomthebom I hope to see more when audio issue due to Zoom interface will be fixed.

All the best, bye !

Hi, bandwith is very limited here due to my wife and daughter being in online meetings....
I just make the experience, that meetings at night are much better for these kind of events.
My work also wants me to join a meeting at 13.00... ;o(

I am really sorry for that.
But I hope, I can show you something today... ;o)
