"NARKULE" (indoor mapping)

"NARKULE" (indoor mapping) from nerdworking on Vimeo.
Gated communities are accepted fictional living forms of the big cities. Most of the families want to live in a secure and well-prepared constructions with active social possibilities. The construction have also been designed for new communication ways and privacy limits of the visitors. Technologies and eco-friendly approaches in daily architectural visions direct urban planners to add really simple and effective designs on whole area. Taking all this into consideration; gated communities convert all this parameters into a reliable social networks with a specific design path.
NARKULE (narkule.com.tr/​) is located at the top of Narcity, which is designed by Nevzat Sayın (nsmh.com/​). Their first public housing project has a major public building now. Story of our performance is built on facts behind the curtain, such as energy of life and abstract links of the buildings. We covered walls / stage floor / stage background to project our visuals on it. NARKULE, its trade center and C Block of Narcity built by architects as a 1/50 models. We synchronized and projected our visuals on independently mapped 5 different surfaces at the same time.

Syphon

Syphon is an open source Mac OS X technology that allows applications to share frames - full frame rate video or stills - with one another in realtime. Now you can leverage the expressive power of a plethora of tools to mix, mash, edit, sample, texture-map, synthesize, and present your imagery using the best tool for each part of the job. Syphon gives you flexibility to break out of single-app solutions and mix creative applications to suit your needs.


Syphon Teaser from vade on Vimeo.
Syphon, 720p mixing from VDMX to Unity 3.0 Beta. A taste of whats to come. Applications are incidental.

Features
Syphon provides an ecosystem for sharing imagery between applications and new media development environments. Syphon is designed to be efficient and will not duplicate resources unnecessarily, keeping your frame rate and best interests in mind.
Hardware acceleration on the GPU - Servers and Clients share video on the graphics card - where it belongs, allowing for HD or larger video at 60 FPS
Alpha-channels - share rendered 3D content and video with masks and keys, allowing compositing to happen easily and naturally.
Out-of-the-box support for Quartz Composer, FreeFrame GL, Max MSP Jitter and Unity Pro
A simple SDK so developers can add Syphon to just about any application

Syphon Implementations
We provide implementations for some of our favorite new media applications.
Quartz Composer: Syphon.plugin (download)
Max MSP Jitter: jit.gl.syphon (download)
FreeFrame GL: Syphon.bundle (download)
Unity 3D Pro: SyphonUnity.bundle (download)

Syphon Apps
We are looking forward to announcing Syphon support in some major applications in the near future. When that happens, we’ll list them here.
Simple Server/Client
A pair of applications to demonstrate Syphon and try out the other implementations
(http://syphon.v002.info/)


Syphon Introduction from vade on Vimeo.
Syphon is a new open source framework for Mac OS X 10.6 that allows users to share frames of video across applications. Sharing happens on the graphics card, and thus is hardware accelerated and very fast. Sharing of HD frames, at full 60 frames per second is more than possible.
Syphon is "opt-in", meaning applications can natively support Syphon frame sharing by linking to our framework and writing some additional code, or by supporting an existing plugin architecture that Syphon has implementations for, such as Quartz Composer, Free Frame GL, or Max5 externals, etc.
Sharing requires no additional applications, and an application can publish multiple distinct frame sources, and receive multiple distinct fram

Syphon VDMX 5 Beta 8 integration Demo from vade on Vimeo.
Ray from Vidvox was kind enough to share a hint of upcoming Syphon integration with the latest internal Beta of VDMX.
"Feature-wise, VDMX will have/already has complete and seamless integration with Syphon: any published Syphon servers on your system are automatically made available and can be triggered as if they were files or passed to fx/plugins/other layers/anything via taps. Likewise, you can publish any layer, group, or plugin in VDMX via Syphon and make its contents available to other apps on the same machine."

Video Mapping Interface

This short video is a behind the scenes view of Michelle running the video mapped projection system at Asylum. This 6 projector wide installation is designed to be run in real time by a VJ to synchronize the visuals to the music. The monitor on the left is connected to a Mac Pro tower running Modul8. The monitor on the right is connected to an PC running resolume 2.4. The Mac Pro is controlling the 6 seemless projectors. The PC runs videos on a series of collumns around the room. The two machines are linked to each other and to the lighting controller with midi allowing one interface to control all 3 machines.

Project GuitARS HD

Project GuitARS HD from artcore visuals on Vimeo.
Project GuitARS brings the rock out of your living-room! It is a game played with a guitar-shaped usb controller on a 5100m² LED facade. The player has to hit the buttons and stroke on the controller at the right time, depending on the falling blocks on the building.
The game was developed during the course "interface technologies" with Robert Praxmarer at the Salzburg University of Applied Sciences.
Project GuitARS was written in Java, the controller input is piped via xpadder. A note-recording tool was written in C++.

Tünet Együttes: Nincs ott semmi | The Symptoms: Nothing there

Nothing there
or do dreams go to sleep during the day?

My dear senses, you have let me down. You too, my one and only imagination. I keep tweaking my own portrait, over and over again, and I bend the contours of everything and everyone. But does this make it the world according to me, once and for all?
How does one look outside of here? And what if there's nothing out there to look at? Is that just another thing that I project?
I want clothes to protect the outside world from me. For I have come to the conclusion that there are no miracles.

The real-time video technology employed by this piece reacts to the position in space of a body in motion, as well as its shape, direction, and dynamics of movement, transforming the gestures of the six dancers into the projection of their anxieties and fantasies, and their web of relations into a mobile abstract painting.

„Innovative to the bone, Réka Szabó's new work is based on an overwhelmingly creative idea. Thanks to superb dance character performances, first-rate jazz compositions by Albert Márkos, remarkable costumes by Fruzsina Nagy, and fascinating space and lighting design by Attila Szirtes. (...) We glimpse the outlines of an emerging opus whose originality, intellectual drive, playfulness, wit, and refinement must be declared truly exceptional."

01 Zentrale - Projection Mapping from Johannes LDC Guerreiro on Vimeo.
The project 01 Zentrale was planned to be ready to install at platine festival 2010 in cologne. platine-cologne.de/​10/​?p=71 It was the first time experimenting with Video Projection Mapping on real Objects. It is a pity to film all the stuff, because the real light mapping experience is too impressive in live.

Max/MSP 5.1.6

DESCRIPTION
Max/MSP is a graphical environment for music, audio, and multimedia. In use for over twenty years by performers, composers, artists, scientists, teachers, and students, Max is the way to make your computer do things that reflect your individual ideas and dreams. Version 5 is a dramatic transformation of Max that begins a new chapter in the program's history.
Download Now

WHAT'S NEW
Version 5.1.6:
pattr: fix for crash upon receipt of 'bindto' with no argument twice (caused by previous bug fix reinstating helpful error messages when binding fails)
parameter: resolves a condition where, under certain circumstances, moving a parameter would cause an automation event to be generated for another parameter
jit.qt.movie: plugged memory leak when loading movies with @window set
subpatchers set to open in presentation mode when parent patcher is opened now first draw in presentation mode to prevent first rendering from happening in patching mode
floating point byte ordering fixes for audio, network, and jitter objects
live.observer: empty lists are now output in the editor, as well as within Live (for instance, observing the 'devices' property of a track, when all devices are removed, an empty list is output)...

various objects - projection mapping

various objects - projection mapping from Johannes LDC Guerreiro on Vimeo.
Some objects deliver an attractive surface for throwing light with a beamer on it. Some others show an intensive inside space, like the harddisk. the projections are proposed to be frontal from one top direction - so its always about the top surfaces to be projected on. In some cases its possible to work with free forms, which do not break the 90° angle of the top surface like the hemisphere obejct, or the sound-damping peaks...

markus mehr & stefanie sixt: "KOMO"

markus mehr & stefanie sixt: "KOMO" from stefanie sixt, sixt sense on Vimeo.
“Komo” is an aural Mantra. The introverted and self-contained a minimalistic string phrase circles upon itself. The use of a traditional canon compacts the already repetitive character of the piece.
Digital sound irritations by IPhone App, Laptop and analog distortion are conciously builing up a contradictory Dialogue, based on the melancholy atmoshpere of the loop.
The minimalistic progression of the sound elements are emphasized by visuals.
Comparable to the music the originally formalistic structures are opened out beyond recognition by stylistic devices as blur or reduction, as well as the manner of composition and mixing and are set into a new context.
The origin of the visuals are most of the times black and white nature shots, which remain in the end as a feeling.

How does it feel to enter an ever-expanding system whose complexity exceeds the personal imagination? How to capture the fluctuating state of non-processed perception and continuously overwritten memories?
From a convolute of intertwining temporal and geographical impressions Seidel and Tippelt try to reconstruct these fractured perspectives into abstract tableaux of fibrous motion paintings, amalgamating with their cinematic soundscape…

The Visual Rhythm of Dance

The Visual Rhythm of Dance from stefanie sixt, sixt sense on Vimeo.
Stefanie Sixt (visuals/music) and Anina von Molnar (dance/choreography) create an interdisciplinary audiovisual performance inspired by the beauty of close up shots of moving microscopic cellular structures in relation to the melodic, minimalistic sound compilation which ignites the fully developed human form into dance.
The visuals blend sequences from the life of protozoa with abstract, digital and live mixed animation. Through Sixts´ coloring and composition (often reminiscent of Pop-Art style) and von Molnars´ both staccato, rhythmic and round, smooth movements, the microcosmos melts back and forth with the macrocosmos.
This show was recorded at H2 - Museum for Contemporary Art, Augsburg (10/23/2010)

The Glitch in The System, October 9, 2010 in Toronto, Canada. This was one event worth remembering.
A 24ft by 16 ft grid screen was built in front of the stage. Each square was 4ft x 4ft. Various actors and actresses were filmed in front of a green screen and mapped on to the grid in different dimensions. The footage was beat matched to the music. The same characters were also at the event doing performances.

Create dynamic Flash text for GrandVJ

Heres the second tutorial by Ben Guerrette, aka VJ Ecin from Triggermotion.com, showing how to take advantage of the Flash capabilities within ArKaos GrandVJ. Note that it will also work for NuVJ and MediaMaster since the variables are the same.
"This one covers the creation of dynamic text visuals. Ill go explain how to tap into the statement variable within Flash so you can create your own text based clips.
Ill also touch on the duration and position variables, which if used properly, allow playback speed adjustment of code based animations. Well be using some basic ActionScript 2.0 thats a little more advanced than the previous tutorial.. "

El Vuelo De Los Muertos

El Vuelo De Los Muertos from Nick Benidt (VJ Bandit) on Vimeo.
This is a live mix I made. I only did it once and here it is, my first of its' kind.
(Also my first video En español)
Made November 5th
I have listened to this song many times, but I haven't heard it in a couple months. I've always wanted to use this footage with this song to make a video... but didn't get around to it until last night.
I loaded up 5 clips (little sections of Que Viva Mexico by Sergei Eisenstein) into Modul8. I've been using these for a few months as VJ clips at shows so I'm pretty familiar with the clips.. but since it was Day of the Dead on Tuesday, I figured it was time to make it.
So I loaded up the clips into Modul8, listened to the track on itunes while I mixed the clips with my Midi controller, and recorded.
I only did one mix. This is the first and only take. I usually use this same method to create my music videos, except I'll do several or many mixes... and then edit pieces from each trial together and fine tune it in a different program to create the final result.
For this I wanted to do something different, and raw...

CoGeWebKit Beta 3 released

After a long while an update of the CoGeWebKit Quartz Composer plugin available. The new version fixes some threading issues discovered in Quartz Composer host applications, speeds up the rendering, and enables flash rendering again. The last version of this plugin couldn’t render flash content due the changes in the latest flash player plugin, but i found a solution to do the trick and now – and now, mouse interactions works with flash as well.

Download here – player modules for CoGe and examples included.

Ballet Alcoholique

Ballet Alcoholique from 1n0ut on Vimeo.
"Ballet Alcoholique" is an audiovisual experiment which was inspired by Holger Hiller´s "Ohi Ho Bang Bang" (1988) and "Ballet Mecanique" (1924, Fernand Léger, Dudley Murphy)
The Audio Track and its corresponding Video were recorded and created solely out (and unfortunately also under the influence) of Alcohol (and one cigarette). Therefore a typical Austrian artistic approach.

1n0ut (Austria)

1n0ut.com
1n0ut is an artist duo that works both collaboratively and individually on a variety of video and interactive art projects with a focus on generating synesthetic experiences. The artists mix analogue and digital processes in their work to achieve a perfect aesthetic blend which can be understood as a reflection upon all of our lives. Cross-disciplinary by nature, their approaches reach from a self programmed real-time multimedia system based on Robert Praxmarer's code experiments to the charming photo stills and composed video works from Reinhold Bidner. Both like to think in shades of grey - between black and white - which gives the audience an experience of fuzziness, fault and, despite algorithmic perfection, harmony.


CPU (Central Processing Unit) - 13min Version from 1n0ut on Vimeo.
A stereoscopic Realtime Performance based on Kafka´s "The Trial"
by 1n0ut (Robert Praxmarer, Reinhold Bidner)
Winner of the Media Art Award Salzburg
In Franz Kafka’s THE TRIAL, 1n0ut found a world full of loops, repeats, instructions and protocols which are familiar parts of every computer programme. This classic text becomes the springboard for a stereoscopic real-time dance theatre piece. The images of the performers are gathered digitally, manipulated and remixed live to plunge an audience each wearing 3D cinema glasses headlong into a thrilling and disturbing illusory world. What steers mankind, what goes, what is lie, what is the logic of the absurd and what the illogicality of reality?
A remarkable adventure, which discovers new forms of expression to question the nature of reality and personal identity.

CONfusions from 1n0ut on Vimeo.
CONfusions is an experimental realtime video sound portrait of Prague. With algorithmic deconstruction of architectural photographs the city is reconstructed in a visual flow which serves as a metaphor for transition and change. This work tries to catch the vibe and speed of Prague, steadily reconstructed, torn apart for new shopping centers, blending all together and leaving the illusion of beauty in a monotone but colorful self-consuming void.
It is an exploration departing from urban microstructures to a more general view onto our lifestyles of speed, consumption and visual entertainment. Analog fragments are melted with digital algorithms to question what is left ?
Sound produced and authorised by "the ecstasy of saint theresa" (Prague/CZ)

This work was first shown at the Digital Transit show of ARCO Madrid (ESP).


1Dentity from 1n0ut on Vimeo.
Live Performance, Paris 2009, VisionSonic Festival
1d_entity is a live interactive dance performance which explores the paradigm of recordings and playback of a dancer. The work reflects methaphorical on topics of data mining (googleism), simulation and surveillance in the digital realm and counterphrases it with us as human beings.
Sampling of life will go beyond DNA analysis, so this work tries to focus on the aspects of sampling human patterns and emotions, and remix and deconstruct them.
Can human behaviour be coded as a chain of granular recordings and synthesis of us, is there a microcosm of feelings which can be arranged like atoms in molecules ? Did all start in one point and are we converging to this first dimension again? This is no answer but an experiment...

MOVE - Installation from 1n0ut on Vimeo.
„Move“ ist eine interaktive Installation, die es den Besuchern erlaubt Teil einer endlosen Choreographie zu werden. Konkret kann jede/r 3 Sekunden seine besten „Tanzmoves“ zeigen, die Installation speichert diese, verbindet sie mit bereits vorhandenen Tanzmustern von anderen Besuchern und zeigt eine immer neu collagierte Choreographie aus dem gesammelten Bewegungsmaterial.
Eine spielerische Auseinandersetzung mit Tanz und Choreographie, die auch nicht professionellen Tänzern Spaß an Bewegung vermitteln soll. Endprodukt ist ein kollektiver Tanz aller Besucher, der sich ständig neu erfindet.
Darüber hinaus hinterfragt die Installation Themen wie Sampling, Remix und Artificial Life. Ist es möglich durch Speicherung von menschlichen Mustern, einer Maschine so etwas wie Kreativität einzuhauchen?
MOVE entstand im Rahmen der Ausschreibung Podium09 des Landes Salzburg.

VJ Tourna 2010 Budapest summary

"This has been my third Tourna thus far, not including the two tournaments that were held in Geneva during the Mapping Festival editions 2009 and 2010. My first experience with a VJ tournament, VJ Tourna Budapest 2008, was a revelation. I had very low expectations in a field that I thought, for the most part, was more community oriented and not about being competative. What made me change my mind about VJ tournaments or battles is what such an event demonstrates: what exactly consitutes the act of VJ’ing.

Our most recent Tourna was in Sao Paolo, Brazil. We were flattened and flattered by the energy of this young and energetic community. 50 VJ’s battling for the top 3 titles. Even as people were elminated, the majority of the participants were there to watch the drama unfold. I heard from one of the contestants that in the days leading up to the tournament the VJ’s from out of town would stay in their rooms working and playfully shouting insults at each other.

Of the group mentioned above there were a handful in Budapest. VJ Victor Robson, the winner of the tournament in Brazil came to try and retain the title, Erms with his live video feed mask dancing and his images of sexy inuendo, Rodrigo Saba with a darth vader like mask that barely hides his enthusiasm for VJ’ing and life in general, etc…

For me the highlight of VJ Tourna Budapest 2010 was the final deliberation. The numbers added up to Erms assuming the titles of VJ Champion and VJ Battle Champion. While the numbers from the jury voting stated that the top title was his, there were dissenting voices that felt that the work of VJ Victor Robson deserved recognition, as his work made serious attempts at transcending the VJ medium by incorportating clear and simple messages about monetary values. The example that moved us was a simple switching of two clips, the first of a rotating diamond and that of a person searching for diamonds, kneed deep in muddy water.

It was decided in the end that Erms should receive the title of VJ Champion, the big prize: flight and accommodation for the next Tourna that will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, and Victor Robson the title of VJ Battle Champion. The reason for this decision was to make a statement. Overall performance should be matched with the abillity to communicate ideas. The third place was clearly settled on the Hungarian contender Exlex. Also of mention was VJ Chico and the special award went to Rodrigo Saba for sheer enthusiasm.

While the overall quality of the work at VJ Tourna Budapest 2010 was not as solid and strong a showing as what inspired me back in 2008, the back story is that there were 3 editions prior to our attendance that year where the VJ’s and been coached via commentary by the jury. We had witnessed the product. In contrast, the now growing community of VJ’s from Brazil is relatively new. The work of fostering this new and highly energized community has just begun and I very much look forward to assisting, guiding and witnessing its evolution."

building mapping

Kaptam egy segítség kérő levelet, melyet most nektek továbbítok:

"Sokéves analóg vetítés után szívesen belemerülnék a building mapping vetítésbe, de valójában nem tudom, hogy is fogjak neki. A szükséges programok kiválasztásához átolvastam jó pár fórumot, de a számos javaslat miatt döntésképtelenné váltam, és attól tartok, hogy olyan progikra szánok feleslegesen időt, amikkel a végén nem is tudom megvalósítani az elképzelésemet, vagy épp ellenkezőleg: túllövök vele a célon, miközben azt egyszerűbben is megoldhatnám.

Szóval abban kérném a segítségedet, hogy adj tanácsot, milyen programokkal kezdjek neki, illetve ha van néhány gyakorlati javaslatod az induláshoz, azt is szívesen fogadnám. Ahogy a fórumon is írtam, nem tudom, van-e jelentősége, de Premier, Photoshop, Corel alapokkal vágok bele."

CoGe and Syphon

"Guys, let me show you some new, really interesting and important stuff called Syphon.

Syphon is a new media framework for Mac OSX 10.6, developed by Anton ‘vade’ Marini and Tom ‘bangnoise’ Butterworth, designed for sharing frames on the GPU within application. What does it means exactly? In a nutshell, a Syphon enabled app can send/receive frames from any other Syphon enabled app, basically for free – where free means the framework is free, but the more interesting point Syphon shares frames within application without duplicating any resources – full frame rate video or still sharing, so you will not loosing a lots of FPS using this tool, so it is exremely fast!

This means you can receive full frame rate video to CoGe from any ‘Syphon-able’ application like Max/MSP/Jitter, Quartz Composer, Unity 3D or FreeFrameGL hosts – and can send as well!

Actually, CoGe has no built-in support for Syphon, but Syphon has a Quartz Composer plugin, which you can download on the project site with bundled modules for CoGe!

More info and download on the Syphon project site: http://syphon.v002.info/

And here is a quick example video about CoGe and Syphon:"

Capturing the screen as a DV signal over Firewire

"I have found a way to transfer a live video screen capture from one Mac to another Mac using DV over Firewire.
This might be useful for VJs who want to mix video from two computers without using a capture card – the 5$ in the title of this post is for buying a Firewire cable.

Have a look at this video tutorial or read on for a text version – sorry about the less than optimal video and audio quality – this is my first attempt at doing a tutorial:


Capturing the screen as a DV signal over Firewire from Udart (Vibeke Bertelsen) on Vimeo.

First of all you need to download a couple of components which I have collected in a handy zip file: DV screen capture components

Here are the links for the original sources of the components in the zip file:

• VirtualDV (in FireWire SDK 26)
• Quartz Composer Live DV
• v002 Screen Capture

Please be aware that as I have not created the software I have no way of making changes or helping out if this hack does not work for you.

1. Connect the two Macs with a Firewire cable.

2. Download the software and start up the VirtualDV app on both computers. This is to fool the computers into believing there is a hardware DV device connected

Step 2

3. Unpack the v002ScreenCapture.plugin.zip file and install the plugin into /Library/Graphics/Quartz Composer Plug-Ins

4. Start up QuartzComposerLiveDV on the computer that you want to capture video from.

5. Click apple+o and open one of the files inside the ’screen sizes’ folder – select a file that matches the area of the screen you want to capture.

Step 5

6. Now if you see a live screen capture in the window inside QuartzComposerLiveDV you’re up and running.

Step 6

7. Check that it works by going to the receiving computer and open Quicktime Player. Open the Recording tab in the Preferences pane of Quicktime to check that a new video source has been created.

Step 7

Things to note:
- I have only tested this on Leopard. Let me know if get it working on other versions of Mac OS.
- There is a visible delay as with other DV sources. This is because DV is a compressed format and so it also takes some CPU resources on both machines
- No sound is transmitted although sound is a part of the DV codec. I think this i because there is no sound included in the QuartzComposerLiveDV app.
- It’s only possible to capture the primary screen due to the way that v002ScreenCapture works.
- Keep the QuartzComposerLiveDV app visible – if you go apple+H the DV signal stops.

Other uses:
- You could also connect a DV camera and record the screen cast if that is of any use to you…
- Or you could load up any other Quartz Composer file in QuartzComposerLiveDV and send that instead. (I tried this and not all QC comps work. I am not sure why…)"
