Dancing

She reads about measuring bilateral symmetry in men. In their limbs. They are asked to dance to songs, a computer watches and records their movements, evaluates their limber symmetry. The computer plays for women, they watch. The women see the men dancing and they are asked by the computer to choose the ones they most admire. The women search themselves, left brain right brain, left brain right brain, left brain right brain and then they designate this one, that one. The computer correlates their choices with its own analysis, the men with the most quantifiably symmetrical limbs, moved with the most fluidity, the most fluid movers correspond to the designations of the watching women.The computer's program is bilaterally symmetrical, the women are bilaterally symmetrical but she knows that men are fluid movers.

FA loves to dance also. I missed getting that gene. I like the idea of watching the shape of absence. Sometimes that is my best approach to drawing. Hope your fun continues.
