What's the difference between Rocking and Rolling?

This is a work in progress: please look around and interact as you wish, it is the starting point for a new project, and a response to my thesis research. As such can be seen as a new tool that needs to be tested, broken, etc. This structure is the bones of what will be situated in Tent, and has been designed to be flexible, movable, and multi-scale.

The title refers to previous works Soft Camera A & B (not shown), which propose non-digital structures and user interfaces that can contain detailed information about a scene or action. These were made using discarded office supplies. The second part of the title is a nonsense question that activates terms of orientation and movement, while a planting a contradiction in the basic ingredients of rock and roll music.

This work aims to choreograph a shared and self-conscious walking environment, where this basic type of movement can be measured and examined outside of a psychogeographical context, seeing walking not as the creation of routes and pathways but as the animated state of clothing, physique, attitude; and the interlude between states of work and leisure.

Pushing the work is a prerequisite for having 'seen' it. Please take turns rotating the structure together, being mindful of the safety of others. Feel free to add your own music.
