This work-phase entitled “klangfarben” (2006-07), is based on the 11-d hypercube. The work itself consists of two square LCD screens, a computer and custom software.

The Synaptic Stimuli is conducted by Michael Chichi. Covering several artistic themes that orientate around The Transmissions of Consciousness and States of Being. This was one of those sites. The kind that gets the thought process moving. Considering human condition in association with phenomenology equating an contemplation of being. The visual pleasure of looking and become consumed by the expression.
I was inspired and energized with the vast array of projects and artist pooled together. Personally attracted to the electronic elements of a particular artist featured. I found the installations of Tatsuo Miyajima to be insightful. The installations are elegant addressing the theme of technology as fetish or “A technology fetish is an idea fetish.”

This is an interesting interaction with the environment and observation technology. While recording visual data from various cams the resulting visualization is a compile of time-lapsed images from a single location. Last is a clock that is a record of its own history. Like a familiar analogue clock, it has a second hand, a minute hand and an hour hand. The hands are arranged in concentric circles, the outermost circle being seconds, the middle circle is minutes, and the innermost circle hours. Each of the hands of Last are made from a slice of live video feed. As the hands rotate around the face of the clock they leave a trace of what has been happening in front of the camera. Once Last has been running for 12 hours, you end up with an easy-to read mandala of archived time.

A lot of the content we have been discussing in class about Convergent Technologies, maps out the future of media. Another school that has been researching these concepts is MIT and they have developed several projects regarding convergence. I came across this link a while back and decided to revisit some of their projects due to our class topics.
Check out the link http://cms.mit.edu/research/projects.php I found all of these projects that have similar ideas. Convergence media the future of media development, virtual environments, mobile technologies, social networking and interaction. I found that the emerging patterns of cross combining entertainment, advertising, brands and consumers with virtual and social experimental media to be the main theme. I think all of the projects are relative although the Center for Future Civic Media attracted my attention along with the Digital Humanities project.

This is another one of those industry things. It just happens to be here in Colorado June 6-9
A good career Networking opportunity. They also host a Creative Freelance panel. This is one for the grant writing guru. Maybe their is some poor student ticket discount???
This image has an unique dynamic light color and glow effect. The light source is generated from inside the elevator creating a contained closed feeling. The overall illumination creates a vignette that focuses the light on the elevator shaft and the boy. The outer edges are dark and lurer to a mysterious uncertainty. The black cats are the darkest silhouetted figures from the fore ground to the back. The cats lead the viewer threw the image with an ominous yet playful mannerism. Contrast between the elevator light and the cats bring the image to life attracting the eyes movement. Overall the main illumination is soft and ties the image together.
This is a tutorial in two parts that I’ve been working on. This quicktime is part 1 and runs about 2 min. I plan on creating a series of tutorials that sync together several hands on and software techniques. These will primarily focus on 4 major applications, Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects and Final Cut Pro.

If you had the opportunity to experience another dimension in theory would you? Collaborative performance composed by David Stout and Cory Metcalf is the digital equivalency. A Gates Planetarium special noise fold envisions communication with supplementary image generated audio. An ambiance of 3D space frequencies constructs a microcosmic environment. The duet creates an alienist dialog between sound and image unlike any other. The theater is virtually transformed into a cybernetic simulation.
A science fiction theme builds on early electronic instruments like the sonic phone. These two artist programmers interact with visual music and noise made from invisible equations. Through a node base program they are able to interface with physical parameters. They built custom software using Max/Msp/Jitter in combination with Isadora. This networked interfacing allows them to manage multiple data sets. 3D object manipulation is done with electromagnetic and infrared sensors. This process is translated in real time through multiple switches and amplifiers. The software mathematically visualizes algorithmic patterns by transcodes image to sound. An impressive incorporation of hardware and software used to explore creative artistic expression.

This site is full of several visualizations of information in the graphical form. I thought these projects were interesting one dealing with physical space and the other with virtual. The site is a great source for ideas and research.

On the top left, the ‘read’ button opens a movie file using a standard ‘open’ dialog box. The file plays in the upper left window.Then the video information (which is actually a 4-layer matrix consisting of transparency, red, green and blue data) is downsampled to a 32 x 24 pixel grid.The next set of boxes, ‘jit.matrix 1 char 32…’ extract one row of the pixel data from the red, blue and green planes. You’ll see that the srcdimstart object is currently fed by the number 9, which means I’m using row 9 of pixel data to drive the chain.The extracted data is glued back together in a matrix 96 measuring 96 columns by 1 row. This shows up in the third black rectangle.The three boxes on top which contain the numbers ‘3 6 9 …’ are the DMX channel addresses. Each pixel sits at 3 consecutive DMX addresses. Finally, the color data is merged with the channel information and sent as a list to the DMXUSB object, which packs it up and sends it out the door to the USB-DMX interface. Very simple in retrospect.
This was created by John Chapman. I’m concidering something similar to use the DMX USB interface to tether a monome midi device with multiple video feeds.
