Roots

“In short, Roots is a collaborative inviting audio-visualexperience where users use their fingers to create branchingvines that trigger sounds. Using multi-touch finger interactionand fiducials (tangible objects), the user(s) are able to makemusic either completely generatively, semi-random by settingup generative systems/rules for the environment, orcompletely trigger-based following finger movement”

Spaces

“Spaces is an interactive multi-touch musical application.Designed as a minimalist interface to free musicians fromtraditional compositional markers such as frets and keys, theenvironment enables musicians to compose intuitively throughimmediate visual and sonic feedback.”

Maeve

“The installation consists of an interactive surface and alarge projection area...The ten winning projects from theEveryville student competition are represented as physicalcards. If a card is placed on the interactive surface, acontextual space is opened around the project. Within thisspace, media files, related projects and keywords arevisualized. When a second card is placed on the surface, thespace turns into a network displaying similarities between theprojects”

Twitch Set

- http://experimentaldevicesforperformance.com/ by Andrew Schneider

“...imagine how it feels to bring up the stage lights bysimply turning over your hand, or cueing a blackout with a fallto the floor. Using a TwitchSet in a public performancespace, or an invisible performance space, might carry morepotential impact even than their use on the stage. These kindof mapped movements are what TwitchSet explores. Morethan the other devices, TwitchSet is predominantly void of anysort of authored voice. It doesn’t come with a prepackagednarrative or form factor. Mostly they are meant to beinvisible – mapping themselves to the gesticulations of theperformer. The performers limbs become the device...”

Siehoevet

- http://www.relmuis.nl/siehoevet/ by Phillip Mendels

“Siehoevet!!! is an interactive visual experience for danceevents, expressing unity and energy. People can influencetheir projected silhouettes by dancing. The shapes arechanged by a computer, from abstract to concrete and fromsmooth to spikey. It is even more fun for two (or more)people when silhouettes merge and blend color and keepsticking together with digital chewing gum when separating.”
