Movement Manifesto a look into the Apache Ninja (Eddy)

Movement Manifesto

Kinesthesia is the definition of the sensation or perception of motion.
During this project I wish to experiment with the motion of the user and of a machine, possibly creating a union of the two parties and triggering all of the relevant senses to create a complete experience.
My research so far has indicated that there is a strong connection between kinesthesia and other perceptive receptors such as the five sense, and metakinesis, which is to do with the transferal of energy from one person to another. My goal in this project is simple and is related to the topics mentioned above dealing with strong metakinetic ties I intend to experiment with the transferal of energy from user to machine. This marriage of human and machine will be primarily of the motion sense enhancing movement and experience for the user and if possible the machine, to succeed I will describe machines not as an foreign entity but as a possible partner with the human body, were each would have complete proprioception (also another name to describe kinesthesia) of the other with complete correlation.
The relation of human and machine has been toyed with for a long time prevalent in Japanese animation a prime example is Neon Genesis were the machine builds a inner connection with their pilots. The connection that I intend to create would not be as powerful, but have deep roots with metakinesis and the involvement of parallel motion between user and machine.
Primary real world examples of this process is the Nintendo Wii controllers were they have adapted motion into the control of the game-play though this is not a new concept they have managed to do it very successfully and the sensory experience will be far greater and a level of sympathetic motion will have occurred heightening experience. Segways are another inspirational product that has led me to this project path there mobility with the human body is smooth and intuitive using body placement to control the vehicle, this idea I wish to borrow from, maybe not directly but defiantly in the same gene.
My experiments will consist of motion based photography and film using high speed cameras and slow motion video of dancers and martial artists, and ordinary motion, scrutinizing movement and placement of joints, looking closely at the geometry of the human body. From this I hope to gather information about which is the best way to tackle the idea for the design intention and what to base it on. Further research is required into human receptors of a metakinetic nature; for example Qi and its relation to the human body and machines, the equation Qi for arguments sake could be converted to electric impulses which is what most objects in this universe run on. This could be used to create a temporary relationship between user and machine, or it could be used on a less direct level for greater flexibility.
In conclusion by project is about the correlation of man and machine on an intimate level and through this relationship my aim is to address synesthesia from a direct source of motion and marry that motion with the rest of the senses creating a unique exciting experience.
