Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Ambience and immersive technological environments allow us to explore some basics of human pragmatics that lie beyond linguistics, intentionality and the subject-agency perspectives of human interaction.We focus on gesture and the body in sense-making and propose a discussion drawing on a nondualist and agent-free account of embodied, material experience.By agent-free we mean an approach that does not presume the subject.Moreover, we deal with the problem of intersubjectivity by studying the human coordination of activity without appealing to a transmission theory of communication.(Harris, 1997) We achieve this by considering how gesture spans multiple bodies and how aesthetic design works with this and facilitates it.The paper is in two parts, the first part covers movement studies, focusing on gesture and body movement, drawing on the acting and pragmatics, and the second part develops this with the example of the TGarden, a responsive play space for experimental performance augmented by gesturally nuanced computational media.We ask the following questions: how do people collectively and individually improvise meaningful gestures in a TGarden environment?How can we build environments in which people can become more virtuosic in their performance with continued play?How can people coordinate powerful experiences without appealing to verbal language or to a linguistic representation?In order to sustain such improvisatory but non-random play, TGarden is built explicitly from metaphorical, dense tangible material substrates and field-based rather than object-based or agent-based responses to gesture and movement.These material substrates include live, gesturally parameterized projection video, gesturally modified sound, and image-bearing or sensate fabrics.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
