Baroque.me (2011) by Alexander Chen. Video capture. baroque.me visualizes the first Prelude from Bach’s Cello Suites. Using the math behind string length and pitch, it came from a simple idea: what if all the notes were drawn as strings? Instead of a stream of classical notation on a page, this interactive project highlights the music’s underlying structure and subtle shifts.

One of the best Video Mapping Projects I’ve seen lately that makes really good use of the structure, music and mastery of pace. http://blog.antivj.com/2012/o/ (more…)

As I have more and more artist friends in Facebook, it is increasingly becoming a good resource for me to discover great works. Yoon Chung Han’s Tree Ring is one of such discoveries. Graduated from UCLA and currently in UCSB, Han is a korea artist working extensively with sound and new media. (more…)

I haven’t looked at any 3d projection mapping for a long time mainly because there are too many bad ones out there. This one is pretty interesting, you can look at it just as an audiovisual piece. If all else fails for you..the music is by Alva Noto!

This performance is part of the Mapping Festival Geneva 2012

20 Hz observes a geo-magnetic storm occurring in the Earth’s upper atmosphere. Working with data collected from the CARISMA radio array and interpreted as audio, we hear tweeting and rumbles caused by incoming solar wind, captured at the frequency of 20 Hertz. Generated directly by the sound, tangible and sculptural forms emerge suggestive of scientific visualisations. As different frequencies interact both visually and aurally, complex patterns emerge to create interference phenomena that probe the limits of our perception.

Subsculpture 13
intercom, 576 white LED lights, holosonic speaker, custom-made hardware and software
display dimensions variable

As a participant speaks into an intercom, their voice is automatically translated into flashes of light and then this unique blinking pattern is stored as a loop in the first light of the array. Each new recording pushes all previous recordings one position down and gradually one can hear the cumulative sound of the 288 previous recordings. The voice that was pushed out of the array can then be heard by itself.

While sharing some works from the MIT media lab conference today, I started talking about lights and decoding with some folks in my Facebook group. So I thought it would be great to introduce this great artist whom many younger media artists might not know. Paul de Martinisis an electronic media artist, music composer who was one of the first to use the computer in a live performance. A lot of his works are informed by old technology, inventions , devices that one might find fitting of Erkki Huhtamo’s idea of media archaeology. Below are two great examples of works dealing with coding and decoding with light and sound.
