links
The roots
of Life Forms are in dance and movement choreography. However, movement
is the language of expression in many different worlds, and as the evolution
continues, Life Forms is used in many different applications!

Merce
Cunningham's Site
Merce
Cunningham has been extending the
frontiers of choreography for more than half a century, most recently
with his use of the computer program Life Forms. Each work he has
choreographed since 1991 makes use of this program, and each is quite
different from the others. Recently, Merce purchased a Macintosh Notebook
for working with Life Forms while traveling. He has since discovered
that he can also use his notebook for word processing!

CONTACT
with Life Forms
The
Contact Consortium
was born out of CONTACT:
Cultures of the Imagination, a fifteen year old organization which
has engaged anthropologists, space scientists, fiction writers and
others in pioneering exercises simulating human contact with other
intelligences. The Contact Consortium was formed to become a focus
for the theme of human culture and contact in digital space. Since
then the Consortium has explored many digital worlds such as: Digital
Mixer Party in AlphaWorlds (tm); TheU
(A World Virtual University Project); and Sherwood
Forest Community Project (an online town). The most recent project
is the Burgess Shale
and Digital Cambrian Project. Life Forms is the tool used to animate
gestures of avatars in the projects.
