Animating idleness
What can video game idle animations teach us about wellness and social cohesion? In this participatory presentation and workshop, we’ll move — literally — from animated avatars to moving meditations and vernacular social dance. Our movement will interrogate the structural and regulatory practices that frame embodied idleness, ranging from code to social censure to pathologisation. Our goal is to create a movement in the moment that reveals repetitive (in)action as vital for individual creativity and collective wellbeing.

Abstract

What can video game idle animations teach us about wellness and social cohesion? In this participatory presentation and workshop, we’ll move — literally — from animated avatars to moving meditations and vernacular social dance. Our movement will interrogate the structural and regulatory practices that frame embodied idleness, ranging from code to social censure to pathologisation. Our goal is to create a movement in the moment that reveals repetitive (in)action as vital for individual creativity and collective wellbeing.
