Absolute Kinegraphic Notation System
©.
|
|
The AKNS is to the
understanding of movement and
space, what the invention of
the musical score was for the
notation of the harmony and
rhythm of sound.
|
|
The
"Absolute Kinegraphic Notation
System" (AKNS) is
three dimensional
notations (systems), originally
developed in 1983 primarily
for purely aesthetic
endeavours (Absolute Video =
Analogue Video Noise
restructured for Pure Art
Films). The prohibitively high
cost of analogue studio
facilities, militated
against any possibility for
developing concepts from the
AKNS onto film then! Over
the intervening years as
computing technologies have
matured, I have continued
to casually monitor
developments in computing
technology with regards to
the demands of AKNS.

|
A few major things have changed all this of late;-
1.
The internet and in
particular the World Wide
Web, now allows the AKNS to
be electronically
distributed across the world
specifically to those that
would be most interested.
2.
The rise of the Java
{trademark of Sun Soft} open
object-oriented programming
language. With Java for the
first time since the
developement of the AKNS you
now have the critical mass
of popular expertise with a
language democratic and
flexible enough to realise
my hopes for the AKNS.
3.
VRML (Virtual Reality
Modeling Language) as a
popularly accepted
non-proprietary standard for
3D forms and movements.
Large part of any
development cost for the
AKNS five years ago would
have been the custom
construction of a
description intermediary
such as VRML, which any
developer now would be wise
to use as-is, instead of
reinventing it all over
again.
4.
The last major technical
obstacle to the
popularisation of the AKNS
was a domestic delivery and
publishing technology. With
MPEG digital video
compression standard and
recently released domestic
CDROM / DVD burners, cottage
industry creation of pure
video works is no longer an
implausible dream. ..
