Eva London 2019 Day 3
Event two:
soundcatart john weijl
visualising music
vj stuff
based on sinus and cosines functions for movement and colours etc.
a lot work is done in forehand and then in a kind of dj remix “again” to finalize the work
augmented reality paintings kind of sketches related to the work
vj frames are integrated into paintings
into virtual reality
kind of fly through experience digital dystopia (pattern usage) recombine half painted backgrounds
Interactive Visual Music
synthesis between audio and visual - synaesthesia
non representational and non narrative
modernist approach abstract animations (started 1920s)
effect by the sublime, gestures, to change how it is perceived and created and returned
-> turner <- broke the canvas
“singing light” but ofter presented as cinema
now interaction is possible by VR - AR? the observer as participant
morphing simple shape (triangle, circle, square) [extruding them to] tunnels of light
breaking up [the idea of] projections - one can see the light on oneself [and interact]
reactions with the movement of the people
taking things off the screen and present them in the environment
here light and flags nothing is hidden everything is clear social interactions / awareness playing , a basic idea/experience of 3d immersive dynamic viewpoint aka real space
stuart faromarz batchelor a framework for future paintings
music jam artist sketch learning through physical play
aural, tactile, spatial …
“computer’s access is this superflat behind glas”
the matters of painting (What happens, if you remove them?) allow creation through code, drawing - be responsive
camera recording the painting process and process the information while the code can be tweaked that processes the data
the artist has the choice
Keynote:
Sound and the Feeling of Presence
What is sound? Where is sound? Presence - Environment and world ….context
a. Sound is a perception basically (Oscillation in pressure) b. auditory sensation evoked by [a]
mc gurk effect - collision of what you hear with what you see [bar-far] aka “illusion like” but this is how we human hear
reality as an abstraction of “reality” aka world out there environment is an interface to the world how we create this artifact
emergence ?vs? presence
localization significant: where is the sound - we localize the sound where it makes sense - not where it might coming from physically. but also sound is in the ear. sonic virtuality a binding problem
thunder and lightning (example)
Presence
VR researcher Slater (2009) simulated presence - vs being here
gilkey and weisenberger 1995 cartesian dualism the importance of audio in visual “worlds” - avoid isolation not so much about sensation and realism but presence
social presence, mediation between people
temperature, tactile, haptic, smell, weight
campbell 1974 organism’s knowledge of the environment/world out there
there is a question: presence how?

nano tech - where does life exist on nano level
quantum computer atoms are not soul, the soul itself is atomic.
talking to an electron
reading richard finemann’s paper and observing the reaction of the electron
where does the ethical responsibility in the world end? On the beings, cellular or beyond the atomic level?
Quantum Chaos
bifurcations, self-similarity soft chaos quantum tunneling, dynamic tunneling
cyberrabbit kybalion
the music album as an collectible artifact
the cover/album-art as an interface for the augmented reality experience
extending to the webpages of the creators
inside a portal to the vr/3d world experience
also the record labels are augmented and the poster that comes with the album
connection to the world?
painting in a/vr and having a share over the vr-world - cyber-meeting point
cooperation with woesome
hosted in the cloud and combined with blockchain
next: maybe AI?
In VR I can create my own imagination, but this time you can step into it.
“Imagine all the people …” … may this is the first step, create.
we live in a time where science fiction becomes science fact
christopher moore
eeg talk demo
The use of human brain activity in the making of art
all art is applied physiology Nietzsche
the brain is bag of salts arranged with membranes
awake drowsy sleep stages I-IV REM abnormalities of brain disorders
(meditation states)Bairn waves gamma, beta, alpha, theta, delta (order of detection)
eeg can be used as the trigger to make art eeg actually quite crude with regard to descreening cognitive function as an artist we should be really careful what we claim
Poetry Based, 3d Printed Sculpture
artist voice ai analysis vector drawing 3d printing conversion 3d printing physical form -> assembling sculpture (by the artist)
Why poetry?
Transporting into notion something that is not notional is very difficult.
Using a poem and the voice enacting of someone(not necessarily a actor) who read the poem
ai detects the emotional states in the voice recordings (that’s the data) (main) reason why the language of the poem has to english The emo-states the ai can detect: disgust, anger, fear, sadness, surprise, happy, neutral male and female differs, counts, too
a lot of data is needed to train a neural network accuracy match is close to 50% much better than pure random (100/14)
artists finding: the idea had way more crazy shapes, the final results are quite “common”

Riding Through Walls a journey of physical computing through Google Street View
Dr. Megan L. Smith University of Regina / Canada
ride a bike in her studio through canada in google street view
projections of images of the location she went through on the right hand side in front the actual street view of the position
went along the trans canada
average speed 19km/h - is comfortable (+ good image refresh frame rate)
sync the experience with instagram, twitter, facebook
data graphs visualize the experience -> biking success, where, … 6420 km biking 337 hours of physical engagement, 942 photos taken to represent the journey
patterns encountered: the people random thinks (like a helicopter on a car) cliches (like a bag in the winter bries) x-mas trees on the street a glitch in google street view system failures (gap in the data, falling down of a highway) time travel (from 2015 to 2014 and suddenly one sees the mountains) google street view captures reality with indifference interaction with people - engagement of people with gsv-cars (stunts weaving) strange things - death - angle appeared moments of love
found a lot more of humanity than anticipated ( blurred images )
the social engagement was huge all over the internet in the virtual experience
project is archived on youtube influence: James Bridle ‘the new Aesthetics and its politics’ Marshall McLuhan
you can pedal through a lot of media like poems
Return to nature: How media art heals
the narrow screen focus of attention
consciousness hacking a service to humanity

are we experience nature second hand?

beyond the audience seat
360°recording last talk of the day talking about opera and recording for vr
implementation of new techs into the traditional opera
3d-ambisonics
mimetic … diegetic … … qualities of staging
hyperstage close you are part of the stage you can move around far away you see it as part of the audience or recording booth
the closer the louder the voice
