Jessica Mumford replied to Zeynep Gunduz's discussion 'what is/could be 'misperformance' within the field of dance and digital technologies?'"I just apprenticed a class on motion capture/analysis at Arizona State University in which we talked quite a bit about the misrepresentation and disconnect between the body and body analysis (primarily with motion capture). We looked at visual…"
Jessica Mumford replied to Angela Barnett's discussion 'Software for Live Motion Capture Dance Performance'"Hi,
Just out of curiosity, are you looking for a mocap system, or just software? If you are looking for a mocap system, I would suggest looking into Optitrack. It's a newer cheap system (around $5,000-$7,000 depending on the extras you buy). I…"

Jessica Mumford posted a blog postGone so Long - General Overview/Update - Details to Come Soon!
Hi Everyone,I am sorry I have not posted for so long. Winter break at Arizona State University happened, during which I took a brief hiatus from Leonard (the wearer was out of town) - once we got back, we were slammed just to get done for the show - blah, blah, blah, I'm sorry. Leonard has been on the fast track to success. Here are some pictures of him:Leonard and DianeLeonard and Diane waltzingThe original wearer of Leonard landed a new job, which was really great for him and his career BUT…See More

- As a researcher and as an artist I am extremely interested in taking my knowledge and understanding of movement and applying it to different needs and applications. My work is highly interdisciplinary and highly collaborative. I lean towards working in collaborative groups because I believe that it creates an amazing breeding ground for the emergence of new ideas and approaches to common problems.
Currently, most of my work focuses on the creation of movement understanding for computational models. I am not only interested in building models to facilitate dancers and their needs. I also want to create environments in which people with any level of movement experience can creatively explore movement.
Thus far I have helped build models using Laban Movement Analysis, nonverbal behavior, and natural gesture. These models have served as tools for many applications such as artistic installations, dance and music performance, collaborative problem solving, and complex data understanding. In all cases, my goal for the movement tools I build is to generate a meaningful connection between the intent of the movement and the response elicited by performing the movement.

Video Documentation

Hello everyone,
I made a few documentation videos outlining Leonard at this point. The three videos are as follows:
1. Putting Everything Together: Shawn tries on Leonard and I describe the next steps we will take to make Leonard wearable
2. Leonard's Head: I describe construction of the head…

Leonard has a skin! (And it's green and furry)

In our latest days of Leonard construction, we have ventured away from Chapter 1: the foam and, moved toward Chapter 2: the fabric. These two chapters in The Making of Leonard had a bit of an overlap as you can see in the below pictures.
As these pictures show, we added the center piece to the dome that Shawn will secure to the… Continue

The continuation of the DOME (aka - Leonard's head)
Posted on November 4, 2008 at 3:00pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
So two weeks ago we took our cardboard model and began rebuilding it with the foam. To our surprise, this wasn't quite as hard as we had expected. We figured that some modifications might need to be made in order to compensate for the extra inch of thickness not accounted for with the cardboard; however, this was not the case. (yay!) Here is a super speedy video documenting the process of building the top portion of the dome and the lower jaw.

Leonard Mock-Up

This Monday a bunch of us got together and started to design Leonard's head. We will be making the head out of dense foam, but we started with a cardboard model connected with duct tape. (cheap and easy) Here are some pictures from our workshop meeting...
