Project Eror (The Pianist)

by

The “eror” is inspired by a word—λάθως (lathos: in error)—written on the walls of ATHENS. In a city without people, the only survivor is a disguised pianist who repeats that same word—λάθως—over and over again. Although the word «λάθως» appears only on the walls of Athens, the work relates to any city and the “errors” of civilization/CULTURE: badly-conceived and faulty IT systems, red alerts that spread fear, the production and piling up of waste – throw-away products, images, information…

Full performance here:

The work expresses the political, geographical and social instability through the digital instability – the introduction of the aleatory and the algorithmic error in the musical material, the sound and the video image. Pianistic gestures, brief references and tributes, and field recordings are transformed through a complex music computing environment. A ‘sound-geography of “error” for a city without peolpe.

Expert from Madatac Fest in Madrid – January 2018.with Patrick K.-H.
MADATAC offers the viewer a new way of seeing video art within one of the most amazing architectural installations in the world. The public can be seated on the sofas, or lying in the ambience prepared for the occasion, under the vault of the NH Collection Eurobuilding: the largest domed LED screen in Europe (300 square meters) and the second in the world. A whole show of light, surround sound (48 sound projectors integrated in the structure) and video in a semi-transparent curved screen where 9 works with a special format, resolution and aesthetics will be projected for this amazing place. Under the title of Videoskies, the works reflect hybrid images, abstract, technological frescoes, geometric and pictorial trips on the perception of color in space, audiovisual games of rhythms, shapes, light, invitations to enter our dreams or Nature in all its splendor unfolding in our senses.

BYOB Prague – Interactive Table

Interactive image table during BYOB festival in Prague 2014.
BYOB is a celebration of the new world we live in and a glimpse of what computing could look like in the future. Today the internet is confined to screens. Tomorrow information will surround us, composing our surfaces, defining our spaces, enmeshing itself with the ether. A moving image is never an object, and when it is coupled with the increased flexibility of portable projection, the realm of experience quickly expands.

°Aeonio

by

°Aeonio is a dialogue between organic environment and related data abstractions.
It complements presence with visual blueprints and acoustic fragments as a real-time process.
The multimedia piece follows several approaches to emphasize a core of data: impulse.

The artwork co-narrates by the elements of visual arts, experimental dance and contemporary music.
It is meant to be performed live as a vivid presentation for public audience, on public stages
or outdoor sceneries.
°AEONIO uses a multilayer media setting to achieve a converging communication between its narrative
elements. It offers a journey through morphing landscapes and imaginary organisms, stimulating
the audience to continuously perceive new associations of alternating arguments.
As an evocative circulation of influences by physical, acoustical and visual counterpoints,
it reflects the boundaries of existence and communication within this fragile questioning.
Media environment is created with Live Camera / Kinect / Processing / Quartz Composer / MaxMSP
/ Ableton Live / Boss RC-50 / Viola / Akkordion / Percussion Bells / Metallophon / Sensula / Metronom.

Light painting example with max msp-jitter.
At the edge of the stick there are 4 infra red leds hidden, the camera reads their coordinates, and orders jitter to produce a line starting from that point.
All parameters of the line weight-height-color and life are controlable.
another example using the same infrared tracking you can se here vimeo.com/9518872
