Here is a new excerpt of "The synaesizer - Introspectrion", the second version of the audiovisual installation by Exomène using pictures by Dorianne Wotton.
More infos: exomene.com/index.php?article=120
The music was generated by the picture file "Marionnettes" by Dorianne Wotton (dorianne-wotton.com) using the Synaesizer. The Synaesizer uses both databending and a generative system to make music and to turn still images into videos evolving with the music.

Matthieu Bogaert, helped by Superbe Interactive, created D/compose. This interactive installation breaks down the composition process into two steps experienced with the vistor's body. First, you choose a color by passing through colored curtain made of strings, then you choose a location by standing on a large square. The installation then shoots the matching paint-ball on a large board. The board ends up to be a collaborative and colorful composition.
Through this installation, Matthieu Bog...
We already spotted Jayson Haebich for some of his former creations, which often involve laser and interaction. This Australian artist has recently presented a clever way to track somebody's moves interacting with a laser thanks to fog and a well-used Kinect.
He has now turned it into a complete installation, "PHOTON", allowing the audience to play as if the lasers where the strings of an instrument. Moreover, this is not only a technical achievement but also a visual one.

Director:
Quiet ensemble.
The research of Quiet ensemble goes through the observation of the ballance between chaos and control, nature and technology, creating subjects that perfectly merges the those elements, elements that take form from the relation of organic and artificial subjects, moving the attention to insignificant and wonderful elements,
like the movement of a fly or the sound of trees.
The interest is connected to those technologies that explores the aesthetic and conceptual possibilities deriving from interactivity techniques, aproaching the newest technological discoveries
as if they would be the tools for creation, like the brush for the painter.
Working on the relation between time and space, sound and image the work of Quiet ensemble changes and develops in time, relating to the space, changing it.
Emphasizing the unespected events, refuting the apparent immobility of shapes and melting the appearing opposition of forces in nature.
Quiet ensemble is born in 2009 from the meeting between Fabio Di Salvo | Bernardo Vercelli.
What's ahead of Mapping Art ?
Mapping is nothing new in digital arts, even if this part of digital creation is only a few years old. First of all, what is mapping ? An enthusiastic Wikipedia contributor said: Video Projection Mapping is an exciting new projection technique that can turn almost any surface into a dynamic video display. Specialized software is used to warp and mask the projected image to make it fit perfectly on irregularly shaped screens. When done right, the end result i...
