	[This is a dance, partly based on a 2008 paper that appears below.] “The Brodmann areas,” a new ballet by Julia Gleich, was performed April 12-15, 2012 at the Center for Performance Research, in the Bushwick neighborhood in Brooklyn, New York. I have been collaborating with Julia Gleich, the choreographer. Five minutes of this ballet are meant to be seen out of the corner of your eye. That part is based on my research on peripheral vision. It’s eerily beautiful. The ballet is favorably reviewed in the The New Criterion (May, 2012). http://nortemaar.org/projects/the-brodmann-areas-a-new-ballet/ http://denispelli.com/2012/05/05/the-brodmann-areas-a-new-ballet/ http://www.newcriterion.com/articles.cfm/Gallery-chronicle-7358 Photo-essay of “The Brodmann areas” by painter EJ Hauser: http://nortemaar.org/2012/04/painter-ej-hauser-photographs-dance/ You can see the "Crowding" section (5 min.) of the ballet here: http://denispelli.com/2012/05/05/the-brodmann-areas-a-new-ballet/ Choreography: Julia K.

Movie at museum and on tv:	What is Low Vision? Commissioned to produce and direct video for the Art of the Eye exhibition at the Minnesota Museum of Art, January 25 to March 30, 1986. Shows the general public that low vision may be understood in terms of three optical dimensions: resolution, contrast, and field. Aired nationally on public television on July 20, 1987, in the National Science Foundation’s How About ...? series in an episode entitled “Experiencing Low Vision.” In 1990 Syracuse University distributed this tape to 400 low-vision rehabilitation centers nationwide to explain low vision to patients’ relatives.
