Readings for Davids Presentation

So listed below are a sampling of materials that I hope will shed a little light on what it is I think I am doing.
I am trying to draw together formal approaches to embodied human computer interaction, using what Bourriaud seems to be calling a tactic of "post-production" that remixes the traditional form of Still Life, with the newly emerging form of live audio visual performance called "Live Cinema". I hope to be able to "couple" the objects of the Still Life, and their cultural meanings (both contemporary and art historical) to create an open-ended chain of semiotically charged moments. Further, in "performing" these interactions, I hope to set up discernible feedback mechanisms which might be interpreted as analogous to the notion of "enacted perception".

Nicolas Bourriaud- Postproduction
Bourriaud makes an argument for the DJ and the Programmer as the relevant forms of artistic practice. Look at the Intro, and pages 19-22 of the pdf file, (not according to the page numbers on the pages)

Live Cinema- Context and "Liveness"
A paper on the history and practice of live cinema focusing on context and "liveness".

Hal Foster on Fetish in Dutch Still Life (in Louise Kaplan's Cultures of Fetishism.)

Peter Greenaway Filming the Dutch Still Life
This article examines the symbolic and visual function of objects in four of Peter Greenaway’s films made in the 1980s, a period when the filmmaker was exploring the relation between cinema and painting.

Embodiment and Human Computer Interaction
(go to section 3.3.4)
An interesting take on ontology, inter-subjectivity, and intentionality, as it pertains to embodied interaction between humans and computers. It's short.

Still Life in Real Time- Video Sketch
A rough sketch video of one of the Still Life concepts.
