Six Drawings

Collaboration with tech artist Maotik and performer Diego Espinosa features projected sound reactive graphics and a standard ballon used as a percussive instrument:

SIX DRAWINGS is a short instrumental audiovisual performance where a percussionist uses an amplified balloon as an audiovisual instrument. With a contact microphone and a MIDI pedal for effect, the performer explores different techniques to generate sounds (grinding, strokes, bubbles or breathing) and visuals in order to create a unique audiovisual composition. Sound reactive generative visuals gives the illusion the public to be inside the instrument, inside the baloon.

NailO

Proof of concept wearable tech project from MIT Media Lab is a trackpad that can be fitted to the nail of a thumb:

Researchers at the MIT Media Laboratory are developing a new wearable device that turns the user’s thumbnail into a miniature wireless track pad.

They envision that the technology could let users control wireless devices when their hands are full — answering the phone while cooking, for instance. It could also augment other interfaces, allowing someone texting on a cellphone, say, to toggle between symbol sets without interrupting his or her typing. Finally, it could enable subtle communication in circumstances that require it, such as sending a quick text to a child while attending an important meeting.

Build the Cities

Music video for Karma Fields + Kerli put together by the talented Raven Kwok utilises Kinect captured data and combined it generative art programmed with Processing:

The entire piece consists of multiple stages. The basic structure for each stage is a dynamic subdivided cubic cell, which is able to multiply based on a designated distribution pattern.

For generating the animated singing figure (Kerli), the pattern is computed based on the depth sequence of the original footage. Speaking of the footage, a Kinect, a camera, plus RGBDToolkit (rgbdtoolkit.com/) were used to shoot both the RGB and depth footage simultaneously. Later I wrote a program to post-sync the two sequence based on the milliseconds tags, since I was not using its built-in visualizer.

For generating the city scapes, I programmed another separate generator to produce images of random aerial views of buildings, using brightness to indicate each block’s altitude. The images were later imported into the system similar as depth sequence. The mapping of the pattern is also affected by the host cell’s “gravitation mode”, which changes its facing direction.

The entire music video is programmed and generated using Processing, with a few slight radiant blur effects done in Premiere.
