In the gender-delineated quartet "Special Collections" Maggie Cloud and Hannah Darrah, wearing shimmering copper and pewter leggings and cowl-necked smocks (Reid Bartelme designed the handsome costumes), cycle through repetitive, angled movements, their faces held in stony affect.
If you flailed around aimlessly you were going nowhere, but methodical timing and angled movements with the Wiimote yielded incredibly satisfying results.
Look for some right angled angles.
The wings are all angled steel, their movements all liquid.
Reliefs bulge out from the suspended form, and one whole wall of the gallery is a negative relief of a receding square with inwardly angled sides, suggesting perspectival movement toward a vanishing point.
Four-way stretch mesh and a gusset cut allow for flexible movement, and an angled elasticated waistband offsets any uncomfortable chafing.
The three towers all connect to the actual head of the printer, and it moves by slight movements of the angled tower on the stationary tower going up and down.
In "Enemy in the Figure," the dancers move in angled, disjointed configurations, their ballet-trained limbs mutating into entirely unexpected shapes, their bodies appearing as polyphonous instruments that can generate movement from any point, rather than taking impetus (as ballet teaches) from the legs and arms around a vertical body.
The machine, known as Motoman-MH24, makes various angled cuts it "learned" by motion capture of Machii's movements.
The piece's movements belie its imposing form -- a 36-foot wide giant pearlescent yellow ring cast from carbon fiber attached to a 18-foot-long silver arm pivoting off center atop an angled 39-foot-tall silver pole -- its movements, ranging from slow tilts and turns to more dramatic pitches and rolls, are a poetic dance to the tune of the ever-changing speed and direction of the wind.
