time travel
Taking a year equal to 365 days
or taking a year equal to 365 1/4 days
day unit (2(0) = 1) and so forth
2(8) = 256 - a year minus 109 days or a year minus 109 days
2 (9) = 512 - 1 year and 147 days
or 1 year and 147 days
2 (10) = 1024 - 1 year and 71 days
or 1 year and 72 days
2(11) = 2048 - 3 years minus 142 days
or three years minus 143 days
2(12) = 4096 - 11 years and 81 days
or 11 years and 70 days
2(13) = 8192 - 22 years and 162 days
or 22 years and 157 days
the life of centuries in the light of 3(n)
The eternal duel, illuminated by the torches of 3(n)
The staff of victory changes hands, passed from, one warrior of time to another
Waves of two worlds, the alternating spears of East and West, clashing through the centuries
(this calculation can be continued, see Velimir Khlebnikov, The Tables of Destiny, but I may not be alive after the multiplications)
Day 2 - 3

The group holds a seminar on interactivity, polyphony and closed systems (auto-poiesis) intially inspired by
the theoretical literature made available, especially the Notes on Autonomy by Paulo Chagas.

Sunday night rehearsal featured Hayriye Koc Basara creating a life drawing (mediated by camera/projection) while
Emi Watanabe played flute in new Khlebnikov costume designed by Michèle Danjoux. The perforrmance improvisation lasted
40 minutes and includes several sections of silence, and musical performance (dialogue between Watanabe and Elliott O'Brart on sound processing). Members of the lab
joined Watanabe in the performance space to manipulate the real stones found by Vanessa Michielon. Hayriye Koc Basara drew a landscape of rocks (watercolor) that slowly
changed from 2-dimensional objects to 3-dimensional objects.

At the end, Vanessa Michielon showed an excerpt from an experiment filming falling rocks in water,
captured under water with GoPro camera and modified in Isadora. Vanessa is also working on devising an installation-projection of her digital images into rocks on the ground.
Monday - Wednesday, Day 6-7
Labor-intensive rehearsals and tests, following the regular morning seminars. Varous small individual and collaborative projects are under way.
On Wednesday at 5 pm, a second observatory tour was conducted across the Mine campus, and on Thursday at 1:oo pm, the group went up the tall white Mining Tower.

Thursday: Voice Animation Workshop
Alessandra Ravanelli conducts the day-long workshop on voice over and voice animation, the group rehearses together and builds small films and animations and learns to give voice to the films or 'synchronize' scenes that are done in a different language.
