Late at Tate, Dec. 5, 2007

Extra special thanks to Mary Mc Caughey, Adrian Shaw, and Terri Parker for making last month’s Late at Tate event a wonderful evening.

While there, I also had the good fortune to see some amazing new work by the Russian art group AES+F, and meet some of the artists. I was truly impressed with their new work, and recommend their website to get a look at it.

Pictured here are Gardner Post and myself, along with Mary Mc Caughey, Francoise and Graham from Addictive TV, Stuart from Hexstatic, and MC Rebbe in a quiet moment after the event finished.

Thanks again for everyone’s help, and for more information on the Baby Grand Master, click here.

1º Contato

1º Contato, UFSCar, Sao Carlos, Brazil

Special thanks to Sandro Canavezzi de Abreu and everyone at UFSCar for making the 1º Contato festival a great success. I had a fantastic time, and was inspired by the creative efforts of everyone involved.

For the festival, we put together a weeklong experimental workshop which focused on exploring interactive connections between disparate media. We used Max/MSP Jitter for processing, iCubeX and Wi-micro devices for input sensing, video tracking, audio analysis and event detection, improvised electronic instruments, and synchronized OSC timing via a network server.

We were fortunate to have Tania Fraga bring her Java 3D virtual environments to the workshop, which created a beautiful lightscape when mixed in with the media.

The dancer Ivani Santana performed live improvisation with the piece using a wireless control glove and other body sensors.

On Saturday evening, I performed live video with Daevid Allen and Gong for the festival concert, which was a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show for making the event such a wonderful time!

Over the next few weeks, I will be posting some more pics and videos from the festival and the workshop. If you have any materials, let me know and I will be happy to post.

Thanks to the folks at Make Magazine for posting the i3L MIDI bridge for the iPhone on their website. Todd Thille at synesthete.com sent me the info first.

I’m also looking forward to seeing the upcoming beta version of 3L “Thrill” VJ Software. Thrill is the real-time 3D visual tool you always wanted. I saw a version this summer that was quite impressive.

i3L MIDI BRIDGE for the iPhone

i3L MIDI BRIDGE for the iPhone

Istanbul based vj collective artificialeyes.tv announce the availability of i3L_v0.1, the first iphone to midi bridge for audio and video software as a free download.

i3L (pronounced “i thrill”) is Freeware developed using Max/MSP as a support application for the native iphone application aka.remote by Masayuki Akamatsu.

i3L receives pre-defined UDP messages from aka.remote.app running on the iPhone, scales the values to MIDI, and allows you to configure the sending MIDI channel and control change message number.

i3L was developed to work seamlessly with our Real-time 3D VJ software Thrill, however i3L can be used with any audio or video software which receives midi messages.

For full specifications, demonstration video, and the download link, please visit http://thrill.artificialeyes.tv/i3L
