Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

She introduced 5 drum performances and asked us to create patterns for each. From Japanese drums to African drums different patterns were formed with the ideas of rhythm, time, space and style. And when I think of a special form, those patterns gave different forms for each and all together it created highly unexpected visual forms exhibiting cross cultural space.
JAPANISE KODO - Patterns On the left side you can see how my body interpreted the music as a spontaneous act. On the righ side I extracted the patterns and the spacial elements which came into my mind. I followed the same process for each audio.
