[eu-gene] Generative art that is not software based?

[Federico Bonelli]

Hello,
At the present time I am involved in a project were we are creating group movements using algorithms. 
Is an analogic approach, not software based, that  considers a choreography as a set of rules and having the performers develop along those lines. Is loosely based on ideas by Laban and Valentine de St. Point among the others, and has some roots in modernism.
if someone is interested can go have a look to our project website:

and here:
http://www.umbrasolis.net/?p=40

At this point of the process we are transforming elements found by the choreographer into rules given to the performer to move and interact. We plan to introduce as soon as possible other strategies, as the process of the dancers allow this. The choreography in some parts of the show is designed from geometric rules, and so emerges. More and more we want to arrive to explore what happens to make that in real time.
