week 3, meeting 5 (16 September 2021)
(notes in progress)
By zooming into details in collages (of Melissa and Eileen), we looked for and found juxtapositions (occasions of potential significance) that might be exploited, and that might not be apparent or pronounced when viewing the larger image alone.
Gervin walked us through showed some storyboard frames, whose images he will eventually be fine tuning in Blender or similar tools. Gervin will provide a one-or-two paragraph précis of the story, footnoted to the images, as if in a pitch to a source of financing.
We interrogated how we use the word randomness, and how its use is a signal of what is not random in a decision.
We talked about Will’s Dutch colonial-style house — the protagonist in his story — and where limits might be brought in to keep his work from an infinite loop of infinite doors into infinite universes.
We continued to think about maps, mapping, walking, getting lost.
John described lingodroids, two robots who must communicate with each other about a new topographic space, using shared starting vocabulary.
Lingodroids were a source of one exercise in a Typography 1 class he has taught.
The lingodroid paper can be found at google drive, file name schulz-etal_ICRA_2011.pdf.
