Extract of exhibition at the Lab for Electronic Arts and Performance, Berlin
2nd December 2011

A minimal audiovisual sculpture of sound and imagined ink exploring Supercollider generative sound algorithms. The author is grateful to Alberto de Campo, Julian Rohrhuber and James McCartney for the inspiration on some Supercollider algorithms examples.
Major noise sounds were recorded in a custom made software, developed in Processing, using an EEG interface, doing brain signal analytics, projects.jmartinho, expect the piano, witch was recorded live. The processing program was connected to Super Collider via OSC protocol.

History of the Sky

[wpcol_2third id="" class="" style=""][/wpcol_2third] [wpcol_1third_end id="" class="" style=""]

Project Overview

Time-lapse movies are compelling because they give us a glimpse of events that are continually occurring around us, but at a rate normally far too slow to for us to observe directly. A History of the Sky enables the viewer to appreciate the rhythms of weather, the lengthening and shortening of days, and other atmospheric events on an immediate aesthetic level: the clouds, fog, wind, and rain form a rich visual texture, and sunrises and sunsets cascade across the screen.

This is a work in progress. Currently, an image of the sky is being captured every 10 seconds from a camera installed on the roof of the Exploratorium, on the edge of San Francisco Bay. The images collected over each 24-hour period are assembled into a 6 minute movie (at 24 frames/second).

The final piece will consist of a large projected grid of 365 movies, each representing one day of the year, and cycling in parallel through consecutive 24-hour periods. The viewer can stand back and observe the atmospheric phenomena of an entire year in just a few minutes, or approach the piece to focus on a particular day.

This will also be an active piece. The camera will continue to collect images and integrate them with the montage daily. The visualization will therefore vary from day to day, and will always display the most recent 365 days.
