• setting up @ WORM [07.2007] :

  setting up the fm transmittors in the space, soldering, etc.

  
  
  
  

• experiments (last phase...) [07.2007] :

  last phase experiments testing the live mic input mixed into the audio interviews at the poortgebouw bar during a very loud gig...

  tryouts for the WORM setup, talking and listening...
  

  the hard/software (ardour, audio interface, mic)

  singing...

• experiments (forthcoming...) [05.2007] :

  currently, i have decided to proceed with few elements which create a space, an auditory space, rather than building a physical space itself.

  for an idea of what the actual space looks like @ WORM, as this would be a site specific installation of sorts [see ideas section].

• experiments [03/04.2007] :

  the installation i was experimenting with:
  
  video projected onto a bassin of water below, on the ground at the end of a dark tunnel. the video i have experimented with ranges from bike rides, the sky and a simple monochromatic blue screen. as the visitor walks into/through the tunnel towards the projection, she/he hears audio recounts of mourning experiences. these sounds are overlapped and chaotic at first, but quiet down and become more audible as the the bassin is reached. once reached,the bassin of water is sitting on a speaker emitting low frequency ranges of the voices, which are now inaudible and manifest as disruptions in the water.

  an image of sky projected onto styrofoam (an example i tried without the water bassin - the audio became clearer as you approached the projection and the clouds' speed changed accordingly):

  
  the rest of the documentation concerning these tests is still to come... [i got a bit heavy into the testing and forgot to document for a while].

• experiments [02.2007] :

  the setup:
  
  a projector mounted on a piece of wood, video projected onto a bassin of water below, on the ground. the video is of a shaky bike ride through the woods. the bassin of water is sitting on a speaker emitting low frequency ranges depending on the user's distance from it.

  

  the effect:
  
  below is an image of the projection, the image perturbed by the frequency emission when the user is close by.
  [this is all simulated in the most low-tech fashion for now!]

  

• experiments video documentation [02.2007] :

  .mov file

  as the projection on water is approached, the emission of low frequencies (55-80Hz) increases, disturbing the image as the viewer approaches it.

experiments [01.2007] :

i began experimenting with different ways to blur or 'disturb' an image mechanically rather than with software.
[like in the clips further down with a projection on water being stirred...]

the above are images of an afternoon trying to make water respond to certain sounds, visibly to the naked eye.
first a small match stuck to a speaker, hoping its vibrations would move the water... (helas!).

finally with a big enough speaker and a simple patch to test different frequencies, we found the above patterns created in the water between 55-80Hz. with the lights off and a flashlight shining sideways, it looks beautiful. [13/02/2007]

video:

• avi

  a video of the above mentionned experiments. underneath the tub of water is a speaker, emitting low frequencies between 55-80Hz, creating different patterns and 'waves' in the water.

• mov

  the projector is on the ground and the water container is above. the video is shot from below, watching the projection from 'underneath'. experiments... [10/02/2007]



• mov

  video projected onto water, little waves made with my hand, destabilising the image. experiments... [08/02/2007]



• mov

  video projected onto water. i added fizzy vitC capsules to the water to see what would happen in terms of disturbance... pretty ridiculous late night experiment this one... [08/02/2007]



• mov

  video projected onto water. the first test, the projector is moving alot as a result of not havign 'enough hands'... but the effect is kindof interesting - i certainly like the video projected and re-recorded effect. [08/02/2007]




• editing by algorythm [11/2006-01/2007]

  i made a series of experiments by editing video with the command line, by using a simple algorythm to achieve a frame based rythm. each frame of two seperate videos are placed into 2 respective image folders and thereafter animated according to the rythm of classic elegiac poetry.

  >> some of these experiments can be viewed here
  
  >> a page detailing the functioning as well as the code used can be found here

• maas tunnel

  the above is a video of the maas tunnel. stop motion. accelerated. [travelling is metaphor i am working with, in relation to death]. [11/2006]




• eulogy

  a eulogy i made for louise : 'receipe for a pumkin pie'
  
  she explains how she makes and how she has learnt to make pumkin pie over the generations. [10/2006]
