In the workmanship of risk, the result is not pre-determined but \u2018depends on the judgement, dexterity and care which the maker exercises as he works\u2019 (Pye 1968: 4). Thus the quality of the outcome is never assured until the work is actually finished. In the workmanship of certainty, by contrast, the result is exactly pre-determined before the task is even begun. This determination is given in the settings and specifications of the apparatus of production, which in turn controls the movements of the working point. The workmanship of risk, Pye suggests, is exemplified by writing with a pen, and the workmanship of certainty by modern printing. In the workmanship of risk, however, practitioners are continually devising ways to limit risk through the use of jigs and templates, which introduce a degree of certainty into the proceedings. Thus \u2018if you want to draw a straight line with your pen\u2019, Pye advises, \u2018you do not go at it freehand, but use a ruler, that is to say, a jig\u2019.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Lines of Risk: Drawings are Traces in Space<\/h3>\n<p>Here is the short documentary <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Be3R5YEKFN0\">CURVES<\/a><\/em> by Masahiko Sato.

Recognized for the integration of ballet and visual arts, he brought about a &#8220;shift of paradigms in contemporary dance&#8221;, through a combination of abstraction and forceful theatricality. In 1999, Forsythe released &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/GrandpaSafari\/videos\">Improvisation Technologies<\/a>&#8220;, a CD-ROM that detailed his vision of choreography as an organizational practice. The disc consists of short videos that explain fundamental primitives, as Forsythe sees them, of human movement and the language of dance. These are illustrated through (2D) white lines that have been hand-rotoscoped onto the video. Despite their formal and technical simplicity, the results are extremely compelling.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6X29OjcBHG8\">Point-Point-Line<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=e_7ixi32lCo\">Point-Line Extrusion<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=_zt95yXWLX4\">Dropping curves<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cqGyFiEXXIQ\">Line avoidance<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;Point Point Line&#8221; by William Forsythe<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/william_forsythe_improvisation_technologies_anim.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-403\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/william_forsythe_improvisation_technologies_anim.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"440\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dropping Curves&#8221; by William Forsythe<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/william_forsythe_improvisation_technologies2_anim.gif\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-404\" src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/60-428\/f2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/william_forsythe_improvisation_technologies2_anim.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Time Permitting<\/h3>\n<p><em>The Dot and the Line<\/em> (1965, 10m)<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 75% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/4929038?h=102285ad36\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Agenda Administrata: Office Hours poll Sharing of a few of your #PlotterTwitter findings Announcements about confirmed guests: Lenore Edman, September 15, 2pm Licia He, late September Iskra Velitchkova, late September Jessica In, October Sougwen Chung, November 3 Others TBA.
