MIDI controller

gesture control of music and visuals

Also this week was the first test of the full-body gesture recognition and translation system, downtown at our warehouse space.
With the audio system, video projection, lighting and laptops to run the audio and video software set up, we strapped the sensor system on dancer Forest and ran a short improvised performance where her movements drove both the music and visual compositions.

interactive experimental cinema

In 2005 I assembled a group of artists and musicians to create a performance group that creates images and sounds in a live performance environment. Combining original photography, animation, and sound design with VJ mix dynamics, the group developed realtime compositing tools and techniques to generate pictures and soundtracks that may range from abstract to narrative. A primary goal of this project was to use "cinematic" visual techniques and narrative elements, while assembling the "final cut" live in real-time.
