In keeping with the principles of whole body interaction (and principles of `defamiliarization'), the design of iDanceForms supports opportunities for surprise, unexpected movement choices and meaning-making. This paper presents data collected from an observational study of choreographers using iDanceForms. In the study we found that choreographers appropriated the intended functionality of iDanceForms to create highly individualized and unexpected movement sequences. They found inspiration in exploring unexpected framing of form and content, which resulted in creative explorations that produced unique movement possibilities provided by the system. Drawing from our observations we discuss possible roles that sensor-enabled mobile devices could play in movement generation through personal meaning-making, creative choreographic strategies and discovery, and in provoking whole body interaction through principles of `defamiliarization' in the context of HCI.","PeriodicalId":231794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and Cognition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133798484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants will create a performance centring on their own personal digital media using Collect Yourselves! -- a two-phase online system that guides the selection, sharing, and live performance of digital photos. Through using the system and briefly analysing the results, participants will gain first-hand understanding of the potential for using performance to extend interactions with technology into an emotionally and aesthetically charged space. The workshop will then cover the basics of the methodology used to create this system, leading to a brainstorming session for how to use Performative Experience Design to interrogate and enhance each participant's own research interests. Participants in this workshop will create and experience a compelling and potentially transformative engagement with digital technology, then use this experience and the methodology behind it to pursue the unique aesthetics of performance in their own work.","PeriodicalId":231794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and Cognition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128993760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Working on these timescales can be difficult due to the need to restore context - a task's physical, digital, and mental resources - after each break. Prior research on using computers to restore context has focused on digital context, reopening collections of documents or visualizing interactions with a single program. My research explores how visualizing system-wide activity can help people restore the mental context of creative work.","PeriodicalId":231794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and Cognition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115695366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The central structure is an interactive vortex of hand-drawn dream images that appear in 3D space before the viewer, accompanied by a sound environment. A viewer interacts with the vortex by selecting dream emblems with a game controller. With it, the viewer has the ability to \"touch,\" move, and compose the images, much like picking up physical objects and moving them around. Once a dream is selected, the vortex disappears; the chosen dream and a suite of related dreams fade into view. For the time span of a typical dream (a few minutes) the viewer can interact with them, moving, resizing, and arranging them in new patterns. The dreams are contributed by the research community at UC Davis, so conceptually the work links \"opposites\": subjective and objective knowledge; 2D and 3D space; and our oldest and newest art-making media.","PeriodicalId":231794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and Cognition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125091394","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The work demonstrates how Augmented Reality and creative imaging can expand the role of the artist in facilitating deeper public connections with the material of science and the macro/microscopic environment. The artist reverses the usual AR relationship of \"real\" to \"aesthetically mediated\" by presenting a painterly digital image as point of departure onto which \"reality\" is layered, rather than the other way around. Using the app Aurasma, the viewer is prompted to experience the thrill of discovering microscopic life in water via short videos of an actual stream and video micro-captures from the same site.","PeriodicalId":231794,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2015 ACM SIGCHI Conference on Creativity and Cognition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133009050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We argue that augmenting the paper with digital information while providing a tabletop setup provides a novel and appealing approach to learning for classroom use.
