radio calisthenics series
background research
My narrative videos as part of the repeater archive grad project featured myself performing calisthenics, otherwise known as "taiso" in Japan or in more plain expression "radio excercieses". The decision to perform the movements were very intuitive. From the tutorials sessions it was difficult to establish the connections with the repeater without further explanation. Intuitively, calisthenics and the repeater appear to me as both disembodied instruments, albeit they are practiced in very different disciplines. Calisthenics in the field of physical health, and repeater in language education. Lead by curious intuition, I did further research on the subject on calisthenics. The details enriched what I speculated about, and filled in the gaps that were missing to cohesively connect calisthenics and the repeater together.
much related to how disembodied voice produce power, the topic of my thesis.
