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.
