Momentum – Interactive framework for creating visuals from body movement

Category Members News People Posted on:

Developed by Schnellebuntebilder and Kling Klang Klong, Momentum is an interactive framework to create synaesthetic experiences of sounds and visuals generated from a body’s movement.

The idea to create a real-time analytics tool for movements started at the Choreographic Coding Lab of Motion Bank in 2013 and was quickly set in motion. Based on the intensity and direction of each move, the GPU-based system calculates and visualizes the trajectory of over 2 million particles. The foundation for this shared vocabulary consists of two-dimensional and three-dimensional motion tracking data (e.g. skeleton, optical flow, Kinect 2…), which run through a handmade custom programmed tool based on the vvvv software. Via an OSC-interface this evaluated output is delivered to kling klang klong’s soundframework “MOTIONKLONG”, which is based on the software Max. Here the data is transformed into generative sounds. It also controls the behaviour and sonic attributes of the adaptive music running in Ableton Live.

Who Wants to be a Self-Driving Car? – Empathising with self-driving vehicle systems

Created by Joey Lee (US), Benedikt Groß (DE), and Raphael Reimann (DE) from the moovel Lab, in collaboration with MESO Digital Interiors (DE), Who Wants to be a Self-Driving Car? is a data driven trust exercise that uses augmented reality to help people empathise with self-driving vehicle systems. The team built an unconventional driving machine that lets people use real-time, three-dimensional mapping and object recognition displayed in a virtual reality headset to navigate through space.

Cyclotone (2012) by Paul Prudence

This new piece by Paul Prudence takes conceptual cues from cyclotrons and particle accelerators and alludes to aspects of particle physics, space exploration and 4-dimensional space. It is inspired to commemorate the first wave of Russian cosmonauts and also the artists of the Constructivist movement who conquered space conceptually.

EGO – Between the real and symbolic

Created by Klaus Obermaier with Stefano D’Alessio and Martina Menegon, EGO is an interactive installation that explores the concept of ‘mirror stage’ objectification resulting in a conflict between one’s perceived visual and emotional experience.

Konrad Zuse and the origins of the modern computer – Zuse Computer Museum

Created by Schnellebuntebilder, four installs now on display at the ZCOM Zuse Computer Museum in Hoyerswerda, Germany, capture and celebrate the pioneering work of Konrad Zuse, famed German engineer and inventor whose biggest achievement, the 1941 Turing-complete programmable computer Z3, is regarded to be the world’s first of its kind.
