Project description online

The workshop (as part of ERASMUS faculty visiting program) will, hopefully, collaboratively produce a networked, interactive environment, exploring how a concept of "Ideasthesia" (see D. Nikolić and others) could be represented in immersive audio-visual space. The participants are invited to bring their own "module" (e.g. software piece or artistic object) - that could send/receive data or message to/from other "modules"- via popular data exchange protocols like MIDI, OSC, WebSockets (eg. via Node.js) or try to develop such an interface, by "extending" an existing artwork. Also, possibly (not mandatory) we could use real-time audio analysis, video/motion/gesture tracking at the studio, or trigger effects on your produced video loops via VJ software. Additional hardware components (besides computers) could include USB game controllers, Kinect Sensor, MIDI controlled video mixer, Arduino modules - that hopefully will establish several hybrid "feedback loops", "metaphysical echoes" and "mirror worlds" in Augmented or Virtual Reality.
