Polynomial Divination - 2022 - Zach Challies, Doug Easterly, Zed Ng
Interactive surface using Touchdesigner, Projector, Arduino and Proximity Sensors. The display shows a sun-like object, a beacon that draws the viewer in. As they get closer the particles start to be drawn in turn toward the viewer, creating a sympathetic experience and a gathering point. As more viewers join, the particles are displaced and shared, drawing energy from the center toward them. Viewers must negotiate their proximity, and share the energy with others in order to maintain the intensity of the sun.
Recollection - Rifts - 2021
This piece examines the relationship between memory and dementia. An audioreactive smoke simulation responds to the incoming audio data, scattering smoke from the source of two rings. The two rings grow and shrink, struggling to connect. Their smokey emissions dissipate and intermingle, but the rings never meet, like ideas and memories in a faltering mind.
Paraphasia - Rifts - 2021
This piece is a live ambient set produced for Supersentient 2022. The visuals are an adaptation on the above piece “Recollection”. They react to the audio providing a meditative accompaniment. The granular sound textures from the music are responded to by the visual elements as particles and “grains” meander throughout the visual and audible space.
