I am experimenting with some algorithmic approaches to image generation, preparing some material for live electronic music performance, driven by the sound, and I rather like this one

Experimental Video performance

Some experiments in using musical analysis to drive image generation in realtime. I am interested in video generation from the music I am making in performance and have been looking for a platform that makes interesting results - tell me what you think of this?

Singing Bowl Robot Video

Here is a little video of the singing bowl robot I have been building - this is V2 prototype. I still have some work to do to refine the leather I am using on the beater stick to get the tone I want. At the moment the tone is a bit raspy - there is also some inconsistency as I have managed to drop the bowls with motors attached a few times so they are a little inconsistent I think - some work to do there to smooth them out again... Anyway here is the beginnings of a growing thing....

The Bowls V2

Version 2 of the Singing Bowls robots.
This one is excellent - the motors are really quiet - the foam works really well - easy to work, good quietening characteristics and really strong. I am very proud of the spring loaded servo connection to the playing stick - this allows for small variations in pressure and for minor in-consistencies in the bowls symmetry. You can see the Arduino and Xbee in a pocket and the battery pack goes in the other side.
In the end I will have 6 sets that can be hung in a space generating physical diffusion of sound. I am also thinking they could be used for perambulatory performances.
I will try and upload a video in the next week.

Thinking Through the Body

I was involved in this interesting research project over the last 2 years - here is a short documentary video about the project made by Mike Leggett
Thinking Through The Body ArtLab 08 is an interdisciplinary research project exploring the use and potential of touch, movement and proprioception (the sense of ones position and volume in space) in body-focused interactive art practices. Project participants are: Catherine Truman, Garth Paine, George Khut, Jonathan Duckworth, Lian Loke, Lizzie Muller, Maggie Slattery and Somaya Langley.
The project has been supported through the Australia Council, Inter-Arts Offices ArtLab 2008′ initiative, and generously supported by Campbelltown Arts Centre, The Bundanon Trust, and Performance Space.
