Temporary Immersive Environment Experiments’ is a research on audio/visual installations by using the state called immersion which is the state of consciousness where an immersant’s awareness of physical self is transformed by being surrounded in an engrossing environment; often artificial, creating a perception of presence in a non-physical world.

super mario spacetime organ (illucia & soundplane) from paperkettle on Vimeo.
Ok We all love Super Mario but this is taking it way beyond. Audio, visual, data all being hacked and manipulated in real time. Loving it.
Unveil the Curtain to the Window with no Ledge is Ryf Zaini‘s latest work in the recent President’s Young Talents Exhibition in the Singapore Art Museum. This installation challanges our perception towards knowledge and uses light as a metaphorical representation. According to Ryf, this project is about : (more…)

Piccolo is a pocket-sized stand-alone CNC platform. For less than $70, you can assemble your personal Arduino-compatible kit for tinkering, developing and deploying basic 3D output. (more…)
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.

IRRATIONAL COMPUTING is an artistic test of material, esthetics and potentials of digital processes. The installation is based on semiconductor crystals – the basic commodity of information technology. The installation consists of five interlinked modules that use the varied electrical and mechanical particularities and characteristics of crystals and minerals and, through their networking, form a kind of primitive macroscopic signal processor. “Irrational Computing” is not supposed to “function” – its aim is to search for the poetic elements on the border between “accuracy” and “chaos” amplifying the mystic and magic side of these materials.

Glitch experiments by Geoff Reader aka McCloud (audio) and Bartosz Dylewski (video).
The audio is recorded using Casio CZ101 digital synthesiser with a flat internal battery; this means that around a week after programming sounds into the memory card they start to degrade, setting themselves to illegal values. Eventually they end up as silence, but for a period through the magic of Phase Synthesis they evolve through some unique sounds that would be impossible to programme manually.

Drawing Tool is a conceptual art piece intended to provoke discussion on the subject of authorship and originality through the means of an interactive experience, by taking the familiar experience of photography and translating it to the quintessentially creative domain of drawing. The goal is to create a cognitive dissonance that would encourage reflection on the experience.
At the same time, Drawing Tool has a practical use as a tool for assisted drawing. In a similar way to how one would use a camera to take a photo of an existing scene, Drawing Tool may be used for creative tracing of a predetermined pattern. While the machine controls the larger scale composition, the user is free to exercise their full creative freedom over the details of the drawing.
Great way to repurpose found machines. In the words of Robert Howsare :
The revolution of the records create drawings that serve as a markers of temporality. The drawings also speak to the idea of the editionable print through their ability to be replicated using domestic materials.
