Matt Gough Blog [closed]: SVG to XSDN
Thursday, May 13 2004, 01:14
the example svg I gave in my last post had about 10400 lines of code. that single image had enough data for a full xdsn score so I will show some transformations form a simple svg. the example below has 26 lines of image code:
the svg is here or take a look at the code as a text file here.
it was generated from an l-system GA. I will show a method by which the svg could be transformed into movement data. although I am showing this by hand the process can be automated by an xslt transformation from the svg to xdsn data.
the notable aspect of these translations is that you get to choose what elements map to each other, your individual and artistic interpretation of the images is retained. don't assume that you could only use the ones I use in this example.
becomes:
some transformations:
I think you get the idea. the mapping is very open, there are no body locations given so it is upto the dancer to decide [in this model] what locations the impluse is attached to. the socre is the choreography, the dancer decides the composition.
amyway, thats the basics for a code based image to movement transformation.
