Possible and barely possible moves
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: “No one knows what the experiment is worth, but I imagine it’s better than sitting on your own hands.” Possible and barely possible moves is inspired by the kung-fu film Drunken Master, where simulated intoxication is used as a way to confuse the opponent. In the project, I used sketches of the movements in the film as a starting point for physical improvisations and looped GIF animations. Imbalance and loss of control have been used as a consistent method – both to generate material and as a way to surprise myself. Failing at something you've set out to do can sometimes generate new ideas. keywords: imbalance, Drunken Master, unpredictability, embodied cognition, failure as method, experiment, GIF animations, rotoscopy, augmented reality, View-Master
