Welcome to the
participants of the laboratory and generally interested parties.
Participants are encouraged to use the mailinglist to distribute background
material for their experiments ranging from the odd paranormal activities
and relevant URLs to fully-fledged theories on perceptional behaviourisms
and biomechanical automatisms. Weird science rants, announcements of
stipendia from piratical research foundations are also welcome, not to
discourage the classic "real" facts and data exchange.

MAILING LIST HELP FILE
In addition, familiarize yourself with how the list operates, especially if
you've never participated in an Internet email discussion group before.
It's a good idea to save this message somewhere so you know how to
unsubscribe.
COMMANDS and POSTS. Unlike traditional listservers which require the
use of numerous email addresses, we have simplified the process by
allowing for both both COMMANDS and POSTS to be sent to the same address.
subscribing the FROM: address to a mailing list. Commands are usually one or
two word phrases which should be entered in the SUBJECT field of the message.
adds your e-mail address to the list of subscribers
you will then receive all posts
you are then allowed to post from that address
removes your e-mail address from the list of subscribers
you will no longer receive any posts
you are no longer allowed to post
switches you to digest mode
you will then receive one message per day which lists all posts
to switch back, send a "subscribe" command
returns a list of all the subscribers to this mailing list
this command is used to alter your subscription info in case
your email address has changed. The BODY of the message
should contain only one line, your _OLD_ email address. You
will be resubscribed from your new address. A copy of your
message is also sent to the list administrator, so don't abuse it!
this message will be returned
POSTS
on the list.
Every time you post a message, hundreds of other people on the list receive a
copy, just as if you sent it to them personally. As a member of the list, you
will receive a copy of every message anyone else sends. On this list, only
members of the list can post to it.

Hampton. Below is a URL to an email interview she
did with me a few weeks ago.
study of Memetics. I was wondering if there are any
of you who would like to involved in a couple of
studies that I am doing on the motion of thoughts
from the outside in creating an observable
structure.
improv musicians, others may even prefer the
non-musicians. Some may incorporate technology,
others may be as acoustic as possible, or not even
musical.
SOUND MEMES. To participate, put the words SOUND
MEME on the subject line of this listserve and give
a message that includes making a noise outside the
vicinity of the computer. For example "Clap 3x."
[hopefully the sound memes will be more interesting
that this, but even the most commonplace will be
appreciated].
and either 1. spread the meme to entities outside
the listserve, 2. return your own sound meme or 3.

directly to this listserve or to me at

Subject: Experiment 5/29 with N.A.Baginsky
investigation of biomechanical reactions under conditions of
telepresence in a "loopcontrolled" environment
a group of subjects is presented to a situation in which they have
to use their biomechanical functions to remotecontrol a telepresence device
INSIGHT Instruments "SOFT"
Nicolas A. Baginsky«s Teleroboter
I-glasses
Powerbook 3400
PC 486
PC 486
Subjects are taken to a comfortable seat, electrodes are attached
to their arms, they are shown the camerarobot and its motion capabilities,
receive a pair of I-glasses and are instructed to experiment with
controlling the camerarobot via their muscle functions.
The perceptional feedback in a forced loopclosing environment
seemed to cause strong biomechanical reactions on the subjects.
In order to gain control of their perceptions, the subjects seemed to go
through various phases:
Initially they experienced difficulties as they tried to use their
biomechanics as they normally would in order to turn and move a camera;
since the motion results were not as expected a phase of confusion was the
immediate result followed by a phase of trying to regain control of their
own muscles, which seemed to cause an overreaction on some of the subjects
as they complained about muscle soreness. Subjects who initially appeared
to have extraordinary physical peculiarities (eyetwitchings, nervous ticks
e.a.) started to use those features and extended them further for control
purposes. Other subjects fell into a state of competitiveness by asking
whether they were any better or worse than the last ones. Only few and
mainly female subjects appeared to aim for a state of relaxed awareness,
focussing on the perception rather than their own biomechanical
capabilities and started to playfully approach the telepresence capability
as an extension of their body rather than an obstacle.
The environment as a semipublic open enviroment definitely caused
distractory side effects - from the subjects occasional "showmenship" to
general nervousness.
A situation where a subjects biomechanical reactions could be measured
rather than "observed" might be a next step.
Noted be the one male subject that started to "airdrive" a car, putting his
hands on an imaginary steering wheel and the legs onto nonexisting pedals
for braking and acceleration.

Subject:
Ein Gedanke dazu:
Die Empfindlichkeit entsprechend hinaufsetzen wenn es zu anstrengend ist (individuell). Der Ausssteuerungsbereich des Midi Signal ist der Anzeigebereich (was man am Bildschirm sieht)
Ich wŸrde gerne ein Projekt beitragen:
Titel: "Atmen Sie noch?"
Verwendetes Programm: SOFT-RELAX
Instrumentarium:
2 PCs ; 2 SOFT Einheiten; 2 StereoverstŠrker mit Boxen; 1 Datenprojektor (extra lichtstrark) oder 1 steuerbarer Laser bzw. Scheinwerfer.
Zwei Personen sitzen bequem und atmen. Beide sind angeschlossen an je eine SOFT-Einheit (nur Atemsensor)
Eine Person sitzt im Innenbereich Eurer Werkstatt mit Gesicht zum Wasser. Ton-Feedback.
Zweite Person sitzt an Wasser Gesicht zum Wasser.Tonfeedback und Visuelles Feedback: Projektion der Atembewegung mit Datenprojektor auf die WasseroberflŠche.
Beide Personen hšren das akustische Feedback des eigenen Atems und der anderen Person, wobei beide Tšne miteinander in Interferenz kommen (sollen). Die hinten sitzende Person sieht auch den Atem der am Wasser sitzenden Person.
Variante 2: Am Wasser sitzende Person steuert Scheinwerfer oder Laserstrahl. Strahl geht beim Ausatmen von ihr weg (verschwindet z.B. im Himmel oder beleuchtet gegenŸberliegende GebŠude) und kommt zurŸck beim Einatmen.
Was sagt Ihr dazu? Bitte um feedback und mšglichen Termin.
