detail of How to Corral, 2008

I have been working on ideas for my MFA thesis. The final works will combine ideas about play, games, language learning, and poetry… most likely. One of my prototypes/works in progress is a piece I showed at Bragg’s Pie Factory in downtown Phoenix. It is called How to Corral. It is a metaphorical piece about notions of wildness vs. normalcy (but mostly it is just fun and causes the participant to look deeply into the relationships of — how the words move — the physical movements the participant must engage in — and the meanings of the words — ). Link to the project page of How to Corral here.

The version I showed at Bragg’s uses a WiiMote. I developed with the WiiFlash server. It is awesome and so easy to use, I hope to use it again. You can download the WiiFlash server here. You must have bluetooth enabled on your computer or laptop to use WiiFlash.
