NoiseFold is an interactive visual-music-noise performance that draws
equally from mathematics, science and the visual and sonic arts. This
networked performance duet explores the use of infrared and
electromagnetic sensors to manipulate and fold virtual 3-D objects that
emit their own sounds. The work integrates multiple techniques
including; real-time 3-D animation, mathematic visualization,
recombinant non-linear data-base, A-life simulation, image to sound
transcoding, complex data feedback structures and a variety of algorithmic
processes used to generate both sonic and visual skins. The result
is a theater of emergence and alchemical transformation existing within an
intricate cybernetic system. The endlessly folding objects, synthetic life
forms, vortices and oblique spirals defy easy anthropomorphic projection
- images of crumpled paper, nerve ganglia, dendrites, organic
architectures, impossible animals, seed-pods and fungi may come to mind. |
