context is what its all about now baby
"WOW what was that!?"
"what it was is unimportant. What matters is the context in which it was placed."
"hmm, that didn't look so hot"
"it will do, i just need to find the right context"
The heckle of 2008:
"Do it CONTEXTUALLY!"
Yeah baby. Context. You know you love it.

i'm high on CONTEXT sweetcheeks
Phi phenomenons and chuu chuus got me thinking about it -
the individual movements are kinda simple and almost trivial, and not enormously effective. But the context in which they're placed, what goes before and after it, is what gives them their greater significance (makes them look cooler)
But temporal context is just one part of it.
enviromental context:-
obvious example: glowtoys in bright sunlight vs. glowtoys in the dark
Now imagine different visual effects from different kinds of spinning against fast moving horizontal\vertical backgrounds (motorway/waterfall)
And Cultural context:
Ironic spinning
Spinning where knowledge of the spinners personality is important
spinning as part of a story
Musical context:
what kind of music you're playing - well duh...
ETCETERA!
so you can play with the contexts in different ways, using them to reinforce an impression \ create a counterpoint or even trigger phi phenomenon.

hmmm
only in the sense that poi is performance
which isn't even necessarily true, because it depends on the context

if you're spinning and nobody is watching you, in the middle of a forest and a tree falls, does it matter what the context is?
Does context only matter when there is somebody to understand the context, other than you?
If nobody see's you spin, did you even really do it?

oh, and someone point me in the direction to some information about what the f*ck these things called Chu Chu and Phi are. My understanding of what currently appears to be bullsh!t will then greatly increase.
