Surrealist poetry bebop Surprising and delightful linked images flowing from moment to moment with rhythm, sound, and emotional energy, often landing on a mysterious resting place. "Your poems are terrific . . . I like your dreamy-Surrealist love poems." - Andrei Coudrescu

Realtime Babies is bebop poetry! Surprising and delightful linked images flowing from moment to moment with rhythm, sound, and emotional energy, often landing on a mysterious resting place.

This book of poems and paintings is the result of two people meeting and forming a loving relationship. Their work is united by a mutual love of poetry and visual art. The images do not have a direct correlation to the poems, but an affinity and reciprocity on a wider level.

Current computer graphics hardware and software make it possible to synthesize near photo-realistic images, but the simulation of natural-looking motion of articulated figures remains a difficultand challenging task. Skillfully rendered animation of humans, animals, and robots can delight and move us, but simulating their realistic motion holds great promise for many other applications as well, including ergonomic engineering design, clinical diagnosis of pathological movements, rehabilitation therapy, and biomechanics.Making Them Move presents the work of leading researchers in computer graphics, psychology, robotics and mechanical engineering who were invited to attend the Workshop on the Mechanics, Control and Animation of ArticulatedFigures held at the MIT Media Lab in April 1989. The book explores biological and robotic motor control, as well as state-of-the-art computergraphics techniques for simulating human and animal figures in a natural and physically realistic manner.
