Made an ambient video of my new kitty the other night. She has really gorgeous eyes. I noticed that in the right like you can see her retina! So I grabbed my iPhone and recorded her while she patiently stared at me. Then put some gen. ambient music to it (supercollider).
Those generative studies I posted about ages ago eventually turned into a series of works which I called “Enso”. This has seen a bunch of iterations, one of which was displayed in MAT’s Allosphere. This is an update of the Enso code. I rewrote the generative synthesis engine: cleaned it up, made it more predictable, easier to control, etc. And also revisited the graphics code. Now the images aren’t so symmetrical and flat. I’ve also introduced some simple shaders to give it some depth. Color-wise, I’m still sticking to minimal gray-scale for a lot of reasons, most of them truly artistic, though the contrast is more stark.
I also added an interface for OSC control. This video was a live screen-cap of an iPhone performance using the $5 app oscemote.
One more post for today. This is another collaborative performance with Pehr Hovey.
Pehr just posted a video of the last few minutes of our show:
