Acquiring Perspective for World practice aiming floating
Keywords:Savage, Embodied Skills, design
The savage mind, Levi-Strauss advocated, enables people to combine things which don’t relate to each other in order to generate new one. In this paper, we present first author’s special learning practice in athletics, and argue about this as a ‘savage experiment’. The speciality in his learning practice is below: first, the practice and his basic embodied skills in daily living have been crossed each other. Second, he made some embodied media for augmenting embodied skills in daily living, on his own. By this experimental actions, prototyping the media has transformed into a self- organizing system from mere a step. Thus, his practice has aimed at the floating point between athletics and prototyping, where he is able to find new variables by embodiment.
