In collaboration with Marin de Boer, Snow developed a VJ-performance for the first edition of the DeSpeech. A magazine for the senses, and a new project by the Dutch band LPG.
The first edition of DeSpeech was a plubication of an EP in a special hand made box, with the theme 'Day&Night'. The show celebrated the release. We performed at Vera Groningen, Tivoli Utrecht, and Paradiso Amsterdam
For the performance we used scale models, live cams, looped camera sequences, copied transparent sheets, and lcd screens as backdrops. The resulting show was made on the spot.
Found this project thanks to Simon. I'm interested in the different methods artists use to transform tangible reality into digital forms and data. And the way we preceive these forms. This project made me think of 'the Tower' in which we are also researching methods to digitize the participant.
Digital Flesh is a project developed by The Science Project, YesYesNo & Paranoid USwith Partlyhuman, Apologue & Peter Klein. In this project they create a digital, mythical organism by combining 3D scans of participating humans. The scans are made by portals on different locations in several countries around the world.
During the opening weekend of ForumImages, September 24,25,26, we had the opportunity to try out a next step in the development of the Tower. The tower is a generative installation fed by input and recordings of humans. It is as growing human database. Each human has his/her own unique place in the crowd, based on differences and resemblances with other humans. The more resemblances, the more attraction, and the other way around. This ongoing project is a collaboration with Frans van Hoesel. Frans is head of department for High Performance Computing and Visualization of the Rijks University of Groningen and developed the software and algorithms for visualization. The greenscreen setup where pictures of the visitors where taken. The interface where visitors could choose 5 to 8 words which fit the person best. The growing crowd. People highlighted based on resembling words. As you can see there where a lot of creative people ;).
The try out at the ForumImages was based on a first experiment with the different ingredients of 350 cocktails.
