Overview: Multi-scale Rhythmanalytic Approach to Complex Biosocial Phenomena:
Cities, Organizations, Movement, Media
Our motivating questions are :
• How do value-producing socio-technical processes synchronize, blend, diverge, interfere with one another?• How do new phenomena — innovations, tactics, inventions — emerge, not merely as functions of the conditions at a single event nor even a set of discrete events, but from extended regions of durations and sociotechnical ensembles?
Such questions can be asked of any biosocial complex system: cities, organizations, groups of people in movement, computational media. This project studies how these biosocial complex systems evolve, cohere, disintegrate, and most importantly generate novel pattern via a special attention to rhythm. For our purposes, rhythmht can be described as the variation of material = energy + matter + media through different biosocial, physical and symbolic states. Understood this way, rhythm is not sonic, it does not have to be regular periodic, indeed it does not have to be unidimensional or any particular dimension at all.
Borrowing from Henri Lefebvre’s last book, a key feature of this rhythmanalytic approach is to respect the heterogeneity of phenomena and not expect to come up with one-size-fits-all models. Indeed, the rhythmanalytic approach is not a study of rhythm as abstract pattern, but a particular sensitivity to the dynamic aspects of the ever-changing world, as experienced. This attention to rhythmic experience of cities, organizations, bodies, and media recognizes that the phenomena always will exceed any a priori frame of reference, that no model will adequately capture all the most interesting qualities of biosocial phenomena.
This project constructs an empirical scientific method that can be applied transversally yet non-reductively across multiple scales of biosocial phenomena.
In broad strokes, the project has four logical phases, some of which may be overlapped chronologically:

This project constructs an empirical scientific method that can be applied transversally yet non-reductively across multiple scales of biosocial phenomena.
In broad strokes, the project has four logical phases, some of which may be overlapped chronologically:
- Relax formal assumptions on putative rhythmic phenomena, assumptions that may be artifacts of particular domains or abstractions. (For example, drop metrical periodicity.)
- Survey adequately heterogeneous, thick, and challenging examples of phenomena.
- Marshal theoretical resources afresh. (For example, consider social objects or objects of regard as invariants or resultants of a group of generalized “symmetries”.)
- Construct instruments and experiments conditioning experience in which the putative phenomena become discernable, and about which some fresh insights may emerge.
Theoretical resources
We condition our marshalling of theoretical resources with some questions: How can we understand the felt experience (E. Gendlin) of dynamic, change, rhythm without resorting to abstracting procedures like indexing on mechanical clock time? Can we understand temporal dynamics without resorting to “time” as an a priori abstraction? Does rhythm, even if irregular, require some notion of repetition and rigorous methods for detecting repetition in situ? What concepts of rhythm can afford insights into complex biosocial phenomena at multiple scales, insights that are rigorous and yet do not reduce the phenomena too much (H. Meschonnic, P. Michon)? These raise in turn profound and methodologically significant questions about what is repetition, difference and identity (G. Deleuze, H. Bergson, T. Frankel, R. Feynman & F. Morínigo et. al.).
Etudes
Rhythm and Lighting Etudes
Chris Ziegler, Omar Faleh; Connor Rawls, Pete Weisman
Rhythm and walking light test, with Ziegler Forest suspended lights animated by proximity and movement.
Orientation Correlation Dancers (Jessica Rajko, Mike Kryzyzaniak)
with Julie Akerly, Varsha Iyengar; Rushil Anirudh, Vinay Venkataraman2, Pavan Turaga, Sha Xin Wei
Mapping correlations of orientations of parts of bodies of dancers to musical synthesis in realtime improvised movement.
Balloon Game (Garrett L Johnson)
Rhythmic coupling of a group of people, a group of balloons, and air. The ostensive condition of play was to keep a set of balloons in the air (keep from touching the floor) as long as possible. Air drag introduced material (non-human) indeterminacy confounding the conceit of dribbling upside down. This was a pilot experiment in how coupled social and material dynamics orient joint attention and joint intention, without language or tokenization of action
Sentient Lanterns (Garrett L Johnson)
Rhythmic coupling of a group of people, swinging lanterns, sound and lighting processes responding in realtime to movement, angles and proximity. The Sentient Lanterns apparatus is built as a sandbox for playful and collective engagement with these questions. As we swing, twirl, and toss the pendants, their movement is augmented by responsive and spatialized sound and reactive lighting. (video of etude)
