::ap // > fm01 launch of speculative development/research project

fm01 will offer a total software environment for the semi-automated
production, scripting and editing of endless cinema.

ap production fm01 transposes non-metaphoric systems and grammar theory
(of computer languages, abstraction and data containers) to the realm of
expanded cinema. a relational, nodal and active language of connection will
be formulated to descend through levels of scene, shot and frame (stored and
to be shot). visual and syntactical analysis software will form a large
part of the fm01 engine.

fm01 is not totally automated and in parallel with ap03 (apOS) forms a
mechanism of personal insertion into systematics. fm01 is not
conceived as an engine for the manipulation of generic clips (an
expanding database of all possible scenes categorised according to a
huge number of elements and relations) but rather offers an enmeshing
within script, data streams and environment. fm01 is a large-scale
project which builds on previous ap research and process to push the
envelope of what can be achieved in terms of computer languages and
data visualisation; a re-thinking of hard-wired notions of input and
output.
