sketching the futurescapes ///// a research blog by Sebastian Gonzalez Dixon

Hailed by The Australian as the countrys best modern dance company, choreographer Gideon Obarzaneks Chunky Move dazzles audiences with its use of site-specific installations and interactive sound and light technologies. Obarzanek’s avant-garde performances explore the tensions between the rational world we live in and richness of our imagination.

Partitura 001 from Abstract Birds on Vimeo.

Realtime sound visualisation made with custom software “Partitura”
Sound by Telefon Tel Aviv

an ongoing collaboration between Abstract Birds and Quayola

Partitura is a custom software built in www.vvvv.org to generate realtime graphics aimed at visualising sound. The term “Partitura” (score) implies a connection with music, and this metaphor is the main focus of the project. Partitura aims to create a new system for translating sound into visual forms. Inspired by the studies of artists such as Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Oscar Fischinger and Norman McLaren, the images generated by Partitura are based on a precise and coherent system of relationships between various types of geometries. The main characteristic of this system is its horizontal linear structure, like that of a musical score. It is along this linear environment that the different classes of abstract elements are created and evolve over time according to the sound. Partitura creates endless ever-evolving abstract landscapes that can respond to musical structures, audio analysis and manual gestural inputs. It is an instrument that visualises sound with both the freedom of spontaneous personal interpretation/improvisation and at the same time maintaining the automations and triggers of mathematical precision.

An interactive video made with HTML5 and Google Earth: Experince it here http://www.thewildernessdowntown.com/

Today I found this project I made two years ago with a friend (and fatal enemy) during my living at Barcelona. Click the image to play it Online. You can watch it with each of the 6 songs, from the selection list, and every time it will react differently, according to the music.

Versus – First Teaser from 1n0ut on Vimeo.

Stereoscopic Realtime Dance Performance by 1n0ut, with Nanina Kotlowski

http://www.1n0ut.com

Experimental performance with Kinect and Adaptive Learning Algorithms

This is a first teaser of our performance Versus which was premiered in Salzburg at ARGEkultur. We already started working on the second version of it with full Artificial Intelligence support and many additional visual effects (particle morphing, iso surfaces, etc.), will be premiered this summer.

Versus
A real performer meets her virtual counterpart, both learn from each other and adapt,
dance with or fight against each other. A performative experiment, that explores boundaries and possibilities in the struggle between indivual and the virtual, man and machine. Artistic and scientific positions in the fields of digital performance and artificial life are being explored.

Once again (and just as in our latest performances CPU, winner of the Salzburg Media Art Award, or 1dentity, we want to work in real existing and virtual rooms (IMAX like), we want to explore boundaries of what is possible in interactive computer performance art and we want to combine possibilities in media art with traditional art forms.

Team
1n0ut: Robert Praxmarer & Reinhold Bidner (Idea, Concept, Code, Realisation, Visualisation)
Nanina Kotlowski (dance & choreography)
