Bodyweave 1.0 Bodyweave 1.0 is an interactive interface in which the user is invited to play with pre-set visual and sound features and compose mini animation pieces in partnership with the interface itself.
The I-Ching, the Hai-Kai and Eisenstein´s movie ideas are the major interface structure references; while the interaction with it results in experiences close to the VJ and the DJ universes.

The interface
Bodyweave 1.0 is an interactive interface developed in Macromedia Flash software that invites the user to create small animated sound-image loops with samples of the artist´s auto-iconographic archive and personal selection of sounds. The interface, in its first version offers the user a small instantaneous exclusive (it is almost impossible to get the identical result twice) Lali K´s animated pout pourri, as result of each interaction.
