<![CDATA[Ideas for social distancing creative wellbeing]]>Hi,

I see a number of online Social Distancing festivals popping-up around the internet in response the the vivid case of the global pandemic. 

Is anyone interested in a Isadora themed online share event? In solidarity with those in lockdown, self-isolation, or various other situations of fear and loathing associated with COVID-19.

If so what is a great or at lest good online platform to use for such a thing? In response to Coronavirus Google has offered free access to premiere features associated with its Hangouts. There are a few other possibilities.

I assume like many of you I am getting major show cancellations right through the coming months. An online alternative towards creative wellbeing is needed.

Suggestions welcome

Best wishes

Russell

I felt quite stupid afterwards. Shall we schedule a new meeting?

I am the one who has failed, not Doodle. I even manually entered it into my Calendar incorrectly.

Normal Brains: 12:30am Tuesday = 12:30am Tuesday Morning (Beginning of Tuesday)
My Brain: 12:30am Tuesday = 12:30am Wednesday Morning (End of Tuesday)

I hope you are doing OK?

As well as one can during the apocalypse I suppose.

Hi Lucas,

I'm a complete idiot. For some reason my brain translated "12:30am on Tuesday" to being half an hour past when Tuesday rolled around to midnight at the end of the day.

So I got ready for the meeting today (as if it were going to be after my workday on Tuesday) when really the meeting was 24 hours ago.

When are we meeting next? I actually have something to show this time. (I'll get the knack of this scheduling thing, I swear! 😅)

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)

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 :
https://community.troikatronix...

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

All the best, bye !
Clement

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

@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

Russell

 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

 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.

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.

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:

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,

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.
