“The computer program which interprets motion and translates it into sound makes perfect 'sense ' at the foundation level. That level of sense is, however, not completely accessible through the experience of the piece. It is obscured by its own complexity. Any attempt to solely rationally understand the work is automatically doomed to failure. ” David Rokeby: Predicting the Weather [ix]. In this chapter I will explore some of the issues that appear to delineate cultural difference in three categories of interactive work in which technology is the mediator between human movement and sound in the work. In doing so I hope to clarify where in the spectrum my work, discussed in chapter 3, is placed, its relationship to other similarly made work and its relationship to work in other categories. As mentioned in chapter 1, there has been enormous growth in the literature on alternative gestural controllers that reflects the parallel growth in the number and type of controllers being utilized for manipulating sound. The primary concern, in these musically oriented writings, has centred on the utility of the interface under discussion. In dance-interactive pieces, where there is more often than not, an interactive visual element as well, the concern

The site is located on the southwest side of Highway 33:14 approximately 52 km north of the Town of Swan Hills and about 1.1 km south of the Island Creek Bridge (Figure 1.1, Section G). 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF SLOPE INSTABILITY Hwy 33 is aligned parallel to the crest of the Swan River valley slope near the slide location and then descends the valley slope onto the broad flood plain where it crosses Island Creek about 500 m north of the slide site. Prior to the highway realignment in 2000, the slide limits used to extend from the centreline of the existing highway where the back scarp was located, all the way down the valley slope to the flood plain level. A series of subdued scarps were noted at various levels on the valley slope through the slide mass. A second larger slide was present to the south of the study slide but was not affecting the highway (Drawing 15-76-10- 1, Section G). This site was first affected by the retrogressive slumping in 1996 and Thurber conducted a geotechnical investigation in that year. Between 1998 and 2000,

to achieve the luminosity goal, high performance instrumentation and beam diagnostics have been installed. Some of the relevant beam measurements performed are: beam emittance, transverse and longitudinal dimensions, beam positions and tunes, overlap in the interaction points, and luminosity. An overview

then be located in strategic places, not on some routine geometric basis. At the present mature state of earth-dam design and construction, it is unjus-tifiable to install instruments, which inevitably introduce anomalies into an embankment dam, for the vague pur-pose of advancing the state of the art. Only

, vacuum components, beam control instrumentation and the presence of shielding does not allow for any improvisation in the installation procedure. This paper reviews all the constraints that need to be taken into account when installing the experimental insertions. It describes the chronological sequence
