David Stout is an interactive video-sound artist and one of the worlds leading laptop performers exploring real-time cross-synthesis of sound and image. He is the recipient of the Harvestworks Interactive Technology Award and the Sun Micro Systems Award for Academic Excellence (2004) and a nominee for the both the WTN World Technology Award (2003) and the International Media Art Prize (2004). His work in interactive media includes electroacoustic scores for stage and screen, live cinema, video-dance, database narrative, noise performance and telematic video events that emphasize multi-screen projection as an extension of performer, audience and environment. David currently lives and works in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Cory Metcalf is a moving image and sound artist who lives in Santa Fe, NM. His work explores the intersection of human performance, real-time media systems and responsive installation environments. His interests range from the field of bio-mimicry to the practices of aerial theater, extended vocal techniques and instrumental noise-music performance. As a seminal member of the interactive performance group, i2O, Metcalf developed dynamic diffusion sound designs for live acoustics and video performance instruments. Metcalf's interest in physical computing is evidenced in works such as Sensor Swarm, a hybrid interactive performance-installation that employs sensing technology to blur the distinction between the audience and performance, fore-grounding the normally unconscious influence that humans impose on their environment. Currently Cory is working with real-time 3D simulation and complex data feed-back programs to model synthetic-ecologies based on genetic and behavioral processes found in living systems. |
