Title:
KIMA - A Holographic Telepresence Environment Based on Cymatic Principles
Writing Type: Paper
Author(s):
Exhibition: SIGGRAPH 2013: XYZN: Scale
Abstract Summary:KIMA is a holographic surround-sound installation that visualizes telepresence as both a phonetic and a synaesthetic phenomenon. The performance piece is based on the physical conditions of cymatics-the study of physically visible sound wave patterns. Two environments, a quad surround and a holographic interface, build the framework of a telematic experience that illustrates communication as wave forms while focusing on the relationship between sound and matter.
Title: Transmission: A Telepresence Interface for Neural and Kinetic Interaction
Writing Type: Paper
Author(s):
Exhibition: SIGGRAPH 2014: Acting in Translation
Abstract Summary:Transmission is both a telepresence performance and a research project. As a real-time visualization tool, Transmission creates alternate representations of neural activity through sound and vision, investigating the effect of interaction on human consciousness. As a sonification project, it creates an immersive experience for two users: a soundscape created by the human mind and the influence of kinetic interaction. An electroencephalographic (EEG) headset interprets a user’s neural activity. An Open Sound Control (OSC) script then translates this data into a real-time particle stream and sound environment at one end. A second user in a remote location modifies this stream in real time through body movement. Together they become a telematic musical interface—communicating through visual and sonic representation of their interactions.
