The Four Stages of Variability: Panarchy of Physical Movement
How is the framework of panarchy and ecological change related to fractal variability?

Why Variability is Good for Health
Variability is one of the main qualities that EightOS practice cultivates. Our practice promotes variability on the physical level, through movement and breathing, but also on the cognitive level, through perception, learning, and communication. But why is variability so important and how does it affect health and well-being?

Motion Tracking Sensors for Choreography and Music Production
The new sensors that can detect movement and current dynamics for multiple participants, sharing the data via Wi-Fi with the others and via the OSC protocol to produce a musical landscape.

Resilience and Adaptability as Sympoietic Practices
Resilience is the ability of a system to maintain its form and, at the same time, to be flexible in relation to external impulses. This makes resilience a close relative of adaptability,…27 June 2021 -
Fractal Choreography using Motion Capture and Haptic Sensors
In this article, we present a novel way of choreographing movement with fractal feedback using motion caption and haptic sensors. The practitioners receive a visual, sonic, and kinaesthetic signal about their current dynamic state, which they can interpret to change their movement pattern or to maintain it further.

Swarm Formations and Choreographies
Swarm formations are very common to find in nature. They are based on a few simple rules that lead to complex behaviors. Taking as inspiration the studies that have been done on swarms in biology and for military applications we demonstrate how these principles could be used to choreograph collective actions.

Chaotic Fractal Movement Variability
A healthy, natural, and adaptive movement has fractal dynamics. As soon as intention or external disturbances kick in, this dynamic changes, and the movement becomes more artificial and less adaptive. Is it…01 February 2021 -
Transfer Package: From Learning to Practice
The “transfer learning” approach used in a therapy setting can be very useful when applied to learning the new skills and particularly the part where they have to be implemented into the real-life context. We demonstrate how we use this approach in the EightOS setting to facilitate knowledge transfer between different contexts and disciplines.

The Aesthetics of Tension and Release
An interplay of tension and release as an aesthetic expression of life principles. How we can play with this dynamics and reflect the important aspects of physical movement both on the individual and the collective levels.

Pan-Algorithmic Resistance Strategies
In the world that is increasingly governed by algorithms, the notion of both an individual and a collective agency is being eroded. It's very likely that what you do is not really…20 September 2020
