Butoh and Flu

Today has been a stay at home with heavy head and sore body. The flu epidemic which seems to be sweeping Sweden (say that fast ten times) has hit my home..nasty. However that has only prevented me from moving, not from thinking. Last night as flu crept over me i was attending a lecture on Butoh: Body and the World by Su-En which was very intersting and thought provoking. The idea of universal room as the space around the body and the body as contextualized sign in situ applies in some ways to embodiment in virtual enviroments...will be thinking about that more.
