Installation with nuts

Recently i made a small installation for the ‘Lange Nacht der Wissenschaften’ (lets call it as the long night of the sciences), at Collegium Hungaricum Berlin.

This year the symbol was the nut, or a half nut.  That form is really similar as the organic structure of the human brain.

For the nuts i designed a neuron like system. It was more then 300 pieces painted to white, so the lines working well on the nuts surface.

For the neuron surface i used a very simple spline structure, programmed and mapped in Quartz Composer.

For the brain picture, i used the Dicom plugin for quartz composer with a one of the sample file.

More infos about that night you can read here.

pxn more and more

The festival coming really soon, so doing more and more ‘pxn’ stuff.

here+now

pixelnoizz, *spark, an empty media card and a glitch machine:

when its here+now, you’ll be part of it. an experimental performance workshopped as part of visualberlin festival 2010.

this will be the first time, i will use my ‘PXN‘ package, and it fits in the original concept.

so what is this ‘PXN’ thing?

This is a set of plugins, effects, transitions and generators. Based on really easy transformation of glitch, feedback, blend and mask-modes. And of course my G_P_G  is a decent part of it.

The basic concept was to make very easy performance without many contents, perhaps a live camera feed in to my face or just one video loop. And using 30-40 filters and combining them with blend-modes and feedback. I think this kind of combination is enough for a performance, and the performance will not less than one performance with hundreds of well prepared video loops.

And yes, we met with *spark during last LPM festival, we spent some time together and with Vade as well. He offered to make something with a wireless photo camera and glitches. As my stuff is really supported by Vade’s V002 its in reality a cooperation between us.
