good question.
Garfield looks completely bored. He isn't pushing himself like Chris is.
Chris is pushing himself - it's abundantly clear (to me) that he's heavily engaged in that state of mind which involves risk of chaos. He's pushing himself JUST beyond the boundaries of what he's comfortable with, and as a result, there is an emergent complexity (which is manifest in his body language, for example).
There's no emotional resonance watching Garfield.
i say it just looks like that because one is just doing it in front of a video camera and can mess up and start over while the other is on national tv and a live audience, therefore looks nervous and sweaty.
have you never seen someone push themselves without showing emotion? i sure have.
I agree with julios.
And yeah I've seen someone push themselves without showing emotion - but those people were not performing, They weren't producing an act for the enjoyment of others.
I get the whole "edge of chaos" thing, like where you're going for a shot on goal at football, and go through the physical motions as usual, but there's that extra feeling of tension and excitement where you realise that this shot is going to fucking rip through the goalie, and probably the net, and you pull off an absolute stunner of a shot - not something that you'd do every day!
That's why chris bliss got a helluva lot of appreciation from that audience - his act isn't professional juggling and they could feel that he was doing something special for them.

and perhaps that's what makes all the difference. I suspect that olympic gymnasts perform rather differently when it counts.

with that said, my intramural soccer team SUCKS. me and another person are the only decent players. the rest of the team can hardly kick the fucking ball. it is so damn annoying.
julios if you want to see emotion, watch me fucking yell out at the rest of the team where they need to be. that will get your blood pumping
Here's the thing. The first guy seems like he's playing the music with the juggling.The second guy seems like he's doing a juggling routine to the music. First guy is better.
