After playing with Isadora for the first time, I can see the many, visually magical creative opportunities with this software.

(From a UX perspective, it is very intuitive – outside of not having the drag and drop option. The click and move takes some frustration to get through.)

For my patch, I was able to do something I had wanted to do for a while: put myself back in my home movies from childhood. I would love to try to do some kind of interaction project where people (like me) who are trapped in the reminiscence of time, can revisit their past through home movies and be right back in the action, experiencing that time of their lives again.

A scene of winter on the Harlem Meer, and summer/fall view of Long Island Sound beach from CT – juxtaposed over each other – where the 1 degree weather meets warmer times. Fire & Ice together again.
