Machine love
10:20 p.m. Back in Toronto. Remembering Kelly Dobson’s evocative gestures as she enacted machine love in her talk on the Lively Machines panel we organized at 4S. She spoke about the machines she builds and works with through richly affective gestures. Body centered and open. Her frame is clear and full of affection. The care and love she expressed seems to be generated in her core. Gestures pull from her centre and from her heart. Hands articulate and articulating. She is a dancer of the machine arts. Alice is here with me while I draw. The sun was warm and beaming when we landed in Toronto today.
