The Creatures of Prometheus – Generative visualisation of Beethoven’s ballet with Houdini

Category Members SoundPosted on:

Latest in the series of self-initiated studies by Simon Russell exploring the combination of the audio and visual, 'The Creatures of Prometheus'  is a generative visualisation of the ballet composed in 1801 by Beethoven.

The animation is driven mainly through a MIDI file. The Houdini setup reads the notation and emits particles using the pitch to derive their height and amplitude to derive their speed. As the volume of each note increases it also effects the colour emitted.

Rock Paper Scissors – Virtual ring where two computers endlessly battle algorithms

Created by the Weimar based collective weAREmedienkuenstler, Rock Paper Scissors is a game played between two computers. Like in the classic game, each computer has its own random algorithm running, choosing one of the three possible items. Connected by an ethernet cable, each computer plays its hand — the winning pc gets a point.
