NFO Painting

New Fordist Painting is an easy-to-use technique for creating a painting. By analyzing an image and deconstructing it into individual brush strokes, the New Fordist Painting application reduces all the steps that would take hours of preparation and training to a couple of simple gestures.

NFO Speech Reconstruction

New Fordist Speech Reconstruction takes an audio recording of a person speaking and re-constructs it using seven or more people.

NFO Sculpture

An easy-to-use construction technique, involving the conversion of a three dimensional form created in Blender (a 3D modelling software) to a flat vector shape, that can be printed, cut and folded in order to be assembled back together in real space.

NFO Orchestral Composition

New Fordist Orchestral Composing is a process whereby a MIDI controller is used to create orchestral works.

NFO Acting

A film test prototype that relies on constructing facial expressions based on a combination of conditioned and unconditioned reflexes. Generic emotional facial expressions are analyzed formally, in relation to the position of the facial anatomy. Later emotions are reconstructed by giving the actors easy tasks that would arrange the facial features in the desired position.

NFO Choreography

New Fordist Choreography is a technique to allow people untrained in dancing to create a synchronized dance performance.

By breaking down movement into a set of simple commands (step forwards, step backwards, step left, step right, turn left, turn right) and delivering these over headphones, speed and spatial positioning can be controlled and complex choreographies can be realized.

NFO Piano Projection

New Fordist Piano Projection uses a projector placed above a keyboard to indicate to untrained performers what notes they should play, and when.
