BERNADINI
21/03/11 15:36
A drawing paper is simply paper as long as it is white, but once you draw on it, it becomes “a drawing”.
A design in light is a mental drawing that uses a dark space, as a kind of dark paper on which it forms in negative.
An optical fibre drawing in space can be in harmony with the place itself, but the light can also create an interrelation by overcoming the physical walls and transforming the environment in a deceptive way.
An installation, in fact, has the power to take the space and push it to the limit of an illusionary dimension, the one dictated by the original idea.
A chance to met up with fellow light engineer Carlo Bernadini as he visits to attend the Kinetica Festivsal. It is rare to have Carlos work here on show in the UK and an encounter I always welcome.

TIMES 2 TO MAKE MY LIFE EASIER
27/11/10 16:23
I am late in presenting these two new fantastic development in the areas of live visual effects processing but anyway here goes . . Syphon And Kinect
SYPHON
Today each visual app or VJ app is a closed system. You create your graphics and it is then sent to your output.
The output of the app is locked. It cannot be altered after it leaves the app.
Imagine if you had two apps each producing a live stream of realtime graphics on the one computer.
Up until now there has been no good way to combine the outputs of those two apps into one image stream in real time. If you wanted to create a background in Resolume and a generative particle effect in Processing, you would have to save one of them as a file and then import this saved movie into the other app, or you would have to use a screen grabber to catch the image from one app and put it into the other in real time. All this uses a lot of process power on your computer and tends to slow down the performance of the apps, due to the need of two apps open at one.
Syphon runs in the background, it allows you to work in two video software environments simultaneously, yet without the need to have both platforms open at the same time. It works as a bridge between any video processing environment and allows applications to ‘talk to each other’ and exchange graphics in real time without any delay or loss of image quality.
KINECT
Kinect hacking, worldwide, continues unabated, taking the gamers tool from proof-of-concept depth tests to something that could actually prove the basis of real media. The killer app, it seems, will be interactive art, as Kinect’s ability to interact with someone in space is ideal for the kinds of interactions designers need – perhaps, ironically, more so than in games.
Most promising of all, Robert Praxmarer writes to share his team’s work on skeletal tracking, top. This is really the magic of Kinect: beyond just tracking depth, once you have a notion of a human skeleton, you can really begin to interact with movement, opening up seriously powerful possibilities for spatial interaction and dance. Robert comes from a “newly-formed research new media lab in Austria called CADET – Center for Advances in Digital Entertainment Technologies.”
Game design with something like Kinect is no small challenge, which is why the launch lineup on the Xbox itself – with the possible exception of Harmonix’s dance game, Dance Central – has been deemed disappointing by many early adopters and critics. To really explore the medium’s possibilities, it may be absolutely essential to get independent designers working on the problem, freed from the pressures of the commercial game development pipeline. Accordingly, the Austrian team isn’t just doing interesting analyses. They’re putting that work to the test with an open-source Kinect game that uses generative realtime graphics and a rich musical soundtrack.

CENTER FOR INTERCOMMUNICATION
13/11/10 15:11
A recent encounter with MINORU HATANAKA, curator of a fantastic show and the ‘ Open Space 2010’ currently underway at the CENTRE FOR INTERCOMMUNICATION in TOKYO.
Listen up Britain!
Open Space includes a gallery, a library, a mini-theater, and a lounge. All are open to the public, free of charge, throughout the year. In line with the philosophy behind all ICC activities, we not only offer exhibitions that introduce ever more people to leading-edge artistic expression and the possibilities of a communication-rich culture, but also make available a wide variety of materials from past activities, including a video archive. A new "Kids' Lounge" for children has also been created, adding to the exhibits of media art works by prominent Japanese and overseas artists that explain in an easy-to-understand manner the relationship between "media technology and artistic culture," as well as a corner introducing emerging artists.
Minoru Hatanaka has been involved with the curation of Japanese Media Arts since its early beginnings, he has also developed a long standing position as one of Tokyos eminent electro acoustic performers.
The space he is now in charge of is very impressive as is the work shown. I managed to catch a mesmerising collection of KOSHIDA NAORIKO’S Video Works.
"The Story About the Crack in Reality" 2008 "Something in the Spiral World" 2009
I also had the opportunity of presenting Minhoru with a DVD of my current work.

We are in Tokyo for Five nights, performing at the grand club AGEHA on the outskirts of the city.
We have been put up in a really nice hotel on the 16th floor in the centre of Shibuya; Youth Culture Central, overlooking the magestic crossroads made famous by documentary filmers the world over including Wim Wenders. I have never seen a city that is brighter at night than it is by day. This must surely affect your midset if prolonged for any long duration of time? The nightclub hosts the best looking soundsystem I have ever seen and also has an outdoor pool, the drinks are gratis, the people are kind and we have been living on four hours a night sleep like the rest of them over here, and it all seems really really natural.

George Barber is the other artist I am exhibiting alongside at the DCA. He is more commonly regarded as a British Scratch Video artist, and his early works demonstrate his cut and paste skills in fusing dance music and appropriated TV footage to great skill. It is however his more experimental works which I am drawn to, early processing hardware and suitiably punk / glitch before digital aesthetics, enable George to present abstract works again fused with sound, capable of twisting the medium of video as it appears pliable like paint on the screen.
George currently teaches at the School of Creative Arts in London and is involved with the video organisation LUX.

Throughout the 1950s Josef Albers had created the works in his Homage to the Square series in sizes ranging from 16 x 16 inches to 40 x 40 inches. When asked by a leading critic on a visit to his Connecticut studio - ‘Professor Albers, in 1962 you suddenly began to work in the size of 48 x 48, and I wondered if this was your reaction as a European to the vaster scale of life in America or in fact to the American attempt to conquer space and reach larger dimensions?’ Albers looked at him and said ‘young man that was the year we got a bigger station wagon.’

MAJOR HAVOC
Interactive Installation
2010
A High Culture / Popular Culture mash up
Repetition as a technique becomes another means by which to deconstruct the work Major Havoc, as users have the opportunity to break up the narrative structure of 3 early arcade game sounds - Archon 1983, Space Fury 1981 and Major Havoc 1983
Fixed controls within a custom made interface allows for interaction of tracks, cue points and beat signatures.
It is believed that loop usage is closely linked to our use of short time memory. Our experience of the presence lasts about three to five seconds,
from this one can draw the conclusion that interacting with loops transfers us into a state of eternal presence, of a now contradicting the continuous flow of time.
Funded by the PAUL HAMLYN foundation. Jaygo Bloom in collaboration with vocalists from the VOICELAB orchestra.
MAJOR HAVOC exchanges 8bit sounds from classic arcade games with 24bit tenor, alto, soprano and bass vocals, and combines these with the original version ready for realtime beat chopping and cue looping via games controller.

Looped video projection
2010
‘Video games are the first stage in a plan for machines to help the human race, the only plan that offers a future for intelligence. For the moment, the insufferable philosophy of our time is contained in the Pac-Man, perhaps because he is the most graphic metaphor of Man's Fate. He puts into true perspective the balance of power between the individual and the environment, and he tells us soberly that though there may be honor in carrying out the greatest number of victorious attacks, it always comes a cropper.’
- Chris Marker, 'Sunless'
Truncated, repetitive, coin-operated nihilism. We were told that play would desensitise, depoliticise and disconnect us, and now games are presented by the museum as the latest historical and contemporary cultural artefacts. The time has come for arts institutions to intervene; playtime is over.

!!WORLD EXCLUSIVE!! - The latest hot topic buzzing around the NEWFUTURENOW industries is over the recent collaboration with the DANCEHOUSE. Glasgow. After a successful series of workshops hosted by the TRAMWAY art venue and overseen by Movement specialist and Choreographer BRIAN HARTLEY . NEWFUTURENOW has successfully completed the rough cut of a brand new video artwork entitled O:.O:.O:.
We managed to catch a few minutes with JAYGO BLOOM The Project Director and Co-Ordinator
Can you tell us a little about the project Jaygo?
O:.O:.O:. reexamines the theosophical beliefs behind early modernist art in relation to dance, film and sculpture, I am interested in how the body becomes a symbol for the illusory 'artistic' reality between geometric and organic planes within the art object.
Can you explain the modernist like structure that you have imposed upon the performers?
O:.O:.O:. Has developed out of a series of choreographed scenes based around a very strict metronomic time signature and an Alexander Calder composition. For this project I have been interested in adopting a similar approach in direction as that of early modernist painting, one which is restricted by palette, by time and with formula.
What does O:.O:.O:. stand for?
O:. O:. O:. is video invocation, it involves the use of prime denominators and is expressed through a combination of technique and procedure. It manifests itself as 3 dancers, 3 art objects and 3 locations - A black rehearsal space, A white gallery space and a greenscreen video production room. The title O:.O:.O:. makes reference to the pace, the content and the connection between Art , Magick and Science that early modrnist artists often seeked solace.

BLAST DIGITAL
14/06/06 18:28
A recent meeting with the BBC Digital Blast co-ordinator for Scotland, Kirstie Lamont, has given rise to a really exciting opportunity to get involved with a nationwide educational / digital event.
Digital Blast is a creative forum that aims to inspire and motivate young people to develop their creative talents and showcase their work on a range of digital platforms.
Digital Blast is looking into creating a series of activities From August onwards targeting young people within Scotland and geared around new digital media and the performing arts. I have proposed to come on board and asisst with the digital performance via new Digital media tool Isadora.
The project sounds really exciting and will travel the country within the The Blast Truck, providing workshops, taster sessions, surgeries, showcase opportunities and large scale events that celebrate young people’s creativity. The truck will be equipped with state of the art technology and will profile work created by young people across BBC platforms including live web-casts on Blast local and national websites, links with BBC local radio and regional TV, BBC Big Screens, downloads to mobiles and bluetooth technology and national showcases on Blast on BBC2.
Their target is to be on the road for 15 weeks in 2006 (working with 20,000 13 – 19 year olds) and 30 weeks each following year (50,000 young people per year). Approx 150 young people a day will actively participate in truck activities on board.

TAO JOYSTICK
19/04/06 19:07
Recontres Internationales want my new work TAO JOYSTICK
for inclusion into their 2006 schedule.
heres a few pictures before the new website goes online...
And part of the statement that goes along with the project -
Tao Joystick is an interactive audiovisual games enhancement. It works in unison with any games console and translates audible gameplay expressions into random sound and video composition with realtime manipulation.
Each system consists of a gaming environment / installation including two monitors, a laptop running the required software and a games console.
Tao Joystick references the playing of original 80’s arcade games and consoles -
< ATARI > < SPECTRUM > < COMMODORE 64 >
< BREAK-OUT > < PONG > < DIG DUG > etc.
The constraints of such games with their limited controls and set specific values are replaced with alternative values of < speed > < loop setting > etc.
At present this is created via < JITTER > programming.
Within the constructed games environment. The playing of Tao Joystick re-defines the archived video footage that is presented on its double screen monitor. Video has been extracted from many sources including – Inuit Song, Butoh Dance, Bangrha and Tibetan chant.
Content is chosen according to the practice of Tao Joystick as a vehicle to re-present and preserve the musical, oral and dance culture of marginalised traditions, within a new technologically mediated context.
As practitioners seek to embed new technologies within the environment and create ever increasingly, more sophisticated < ubiquitous > and transparent interfaces for us to explore. Interactivity and usability can become secondary to the mediated experience and any aspect of intended game playing is difficult to understand.
Tao Joystick seeks to reverse this need for < ubiquity > and looks first and foremost towards < playability > and
< what makes a game addictive? >.
The technology that presents Tao Joystick is central to its physical makeup. The controller and console is very evidently a games controller and games console, yet the intended outcome, mediated by these self same new technologies, create an altogether unique and memorable audiovisual experience.

BUMP...
12/04/06 19:09
I have just been successful with a proposal towards
a futuresonic festival commision, hosted by Lancaster
arts base - FOLLY.
FUTURESONIC is an annual festival of sound, and AV installation,
held in Manchester. UK. Its very high profile, and I am really
excited at being given the commision to create a new piece of work for it.
My project is called BUMP..
and basically its an online project that translates the press of a
key into an actual realtime event.
exerpts from my proposal-
< BUMP... >
A sound
A text byte
An expression used within online discussions
A precursor
An interruption
Bump...
This adjective is appropriated from the endless realms of online forums where a user awaits a reply to his message.
Bump...
Situated within public walk spaces and areas of intersection between the many futuresonic festival events and interacted with on one of the many touch screen interfaces. < bump.. > will make it possible for participants to send a variety of sonic booms in real-time to one of the chosen hotspots.
Hotspots will be monitored by the use of live video stream via webcam and presented upon the Touchscreen interface.
TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE
The interaction and execution of a sound-byte via an online flash based games module.
< bump… > involves a button-press online creating an actual real-time event within any specified location.
This is made possible via networked sockets and a flash signal being sent to a particular IP address port. max/msp receives this signal and changes it into
Any possible real-time event, i.e. sound.
IN CONTEXT
As computer technology becomes increasingly mature, the technology itself will fade into the background of human activities, becoming far less intrusive than is the case today.
Will reinstate the presence of this technological intervention over it's environment via the quick shot, rapid-fire, 8bit sounds emanating out of its location based < FOLLY > sound modules.

MONTEVIDEO
18/03/06 19:13
Montevideo is a new media organisation situated in the Netherlands.
They have a residency program 'AIR' for artists.
This year one of the main guidlines is that the project should
utilise and be created out of Open Source Software (OSS).
This type of technology makes alot of sense. Most software has an OSS alternative,
at the moment the key problem is awareness and profile.
Within our society many people are too used to spending vast amounts of money,
certain companies and even creative individuals still suspect anything that is good can be for free!
OSS software developers are now making efforts to educate community projects
and schools, where access to this would make real sense.
For the AIR program, I have proposed my 'TAO JOYSTICK' project and reworked it to fit into the guidlines,
with a new title - 'FREE CREDIT' I will work on this project within the OPENLAB sessions at Glasgow school of Art.
A regular meeting place for artists and programmers interested in the uses of such software.
I have also proposed to use the residency as an opportunity to
rework and remix selected videoworks from the Montevideo archive library, via the FREE CREDIT
games console, this will form part performance and part interactive installation.
