Moe (modular screen) posted by vedran on 29.01.10

Moe (modular screen) is a light and video augmented sculpture, based on a single building element that can form an array of different, adjustable and reusable stage designs for club events and concerts. Dynamic structure that comes from the fact that elements come together at a 45 degree angle allows Moe to function well even as a standalone light object, a virtual kinetic sculpture. This combination of a physical object and computer generated reality comes together via vvvv, a software for video synthesis designed by meso. A specific proprietary patch was built for the sculpture, using the same modular principle so that the composition of the video texture follows the thought pattern of the physical object. Every piece is textured separately, video textures are generated in real time and are input or ambient sound responsive. For 2009. Illectricity festival in Zagreb Moe was built 5 meters tall and 8 meters wide, out of 180 elements. The entire installation cost a little bit more than 250 euro to build (just raw materials). Moe awaits to be reincarnated in a different body. web: www.projectmoe.net video on Vimeo

Voyage en Polygonies ( Puppets Theatre /France / 2009) posted by karistouf on 27.01.10

VVVV was used in this full realtime video work to manage video and sound. VVVV was remoted in art-net by my schwartzpeter, using its abilities of cues , times and events handling, and of course light managing. This show is a 47 minutes show, and contains about 16 very differents scenes. It was completely created from scratch during improvisations and rehearsals. No plan, no global view of what it will be at the end. And every scene is ovelapping the other graphically, between video caracters or decor elements. Wich means no Subpatch loading ! In this way, VVVV was fabulous, and my choice to use other tools for recording cues and playing time transitions was very wise, as a lot of things were moving from day to day, all along the rehearsals. The problematic of storing and preseting was completely exited by using schwartzpeter. This was my very first attempt for a complete and complex show with VVVV. Next time, I will try to work with others, as developping and patch handling is somewhere killing the time in your head for artistic and creation. But well, VVVV is terrific. Thanks devvvvs .... and thanks for the support when bugs or philosophical questions ! photo Phil Journee some videos from rehearsals : http://vimeo.com/9068424

Digital Wallpaper posted by ampop on 23.09.09

To decorate the office space of Büro Hirzberger in Vienna Strukt realised a digital wallpaper that illuminates the walls. In this self-initated project Strukt was given complete creative freedom by the client, and developed a system to project video and realtime content undistorted onto any surface. The basic idea was to light up the black and white striped office wall by mapping the architecture with multitple projectors. The program developed by Strukt is scripted in vvvv and is scaleable to any number of projectors and any architectural shape. Several different visualisations have been realised already, amongst it a Pac Man animation as well as moving stripes, and more are in development. The content could also be made interactive, reacting to people passing the ground-floor offices. The hardware is courtesy of Concept Solutions Vienna. Click here for project page

Heinrich posted by Xini on 12.08.09

Heinrich Beta a tool for dynamic Schenkerian analysis graphs Screenshot Heinrich is a prototype for an educational tool with which you can draw Schenkerian analysis graphs. These graphs are multi-layered so that you can fade in and out the material which lies between the foreground level and the Urlinie. Heinrich lets you assign different layers to notes and objects in order to express the multi-level structure of the Schenkerian analysis method. Heinrich was developed in VVVV and can be downloaded on the author's webstite It would be nice if soumeone wants to further develop this idea that still is in a very basic stage.

Body Collective posted by thomaswester on 22.07.09

http://secondstory.com/portfolio/works/body-collective This free-standing installation in the Portland Art Museum (Portland, Oregon, USA) was deployed in concert with the museum’s exhibition Marking Portland: the Art of the Tattoo. Integrated into an alcove adjacent to one of the busiest thoroughfares in the museum, this two-sided experience literally merges the museum’s community and collection. On a large display on the inner side of the unit visitors walk up and see themselves with details of artwork blended onto their likeness. A row of scrolling thumbnails lets visitors browse and select the artwork they want to see on themselves. After a few seconds an image is captured of the composite and added to the Body Collective collection where it can be viewed on the outer side of the unit. On this screen visitors can browse through thumbnails of every image captured since the exhibition opened to observe the playful convergence of art and audience. Both "sides" are developed using VVVV, the capture side streams live "higher res" video from a PtGrey Chameleon usb camera. Then uses blend modes to composite a piece of art (the "tatoo") onto the live image. A picture is taken then saved to the other side. User input is detected using infrared proximity sensors, these are hooked up to a Make Controller which broacasts the visitor's hand position as an OSC value. This was our first VVVV project, it was a great experience!

Gruppo Làbun - WAteR Interactive installation Video documentation here! Feedback Festival San Casciano Val Di Pesa (FI), Italy June 25-28, 2009 3 Wiimotes, 2 Computers PD/VVVV/OSCulator A. Perini/S. Fumagalli/A. Livio labun.it feedbackfestival.it This work represents the Water element as a source of profits and power rather than as a source of life. Once water resources become scarcer, the paradoxical identification of water as the petrol of the future seems more and more appropriate: to date it seems that the control over such a substance is equivalent to controlling life. The war for water is a bloody but also subtle war, battled out through shrewd legislative, financial and industrial manoeuvres. Without forgetting that this war, typical of the contemporary world, has just waged battle on the media: now that we are drowned in an ocean of misinformation it is up to us to search new isles from where a fresh assault for the reconquest of lost rights can be launched.

Cinema Vertigo: In Freefall posted by studiomoto on 15.06.09

Cinema Vertigo is an interactive audiovisual environment. It is a mobile form of interactive experimental cinema: it exposes the perceptional effect of induced movement - formerly often used by the moving camera in film - and transforms it into a new spacial constellation. Cinema Vertigo’s most distinctive feature is its huge vertical screen format, aligned along the tower of a glass elevator. Video of Cinema Vertigo: In Freefall „In Freefall“ is the title of the first „movie“ played on the Cinema Vertigo platform. It deals with the state of vertigo, a disturbing feeling between motion and standstill. The movements of the elevator as well as gestures and motion of the audience influence visuals and sounds on the tall screen. Without any interaction the screen remains black; if people use the elevator or step towards the screen they reveal hundreds of little origami-like characters, trapped inside a game between rise and fall. Cinema Vertigo can be adjusted to any architectural space that includes more than one floor. It is able to track movement and the interactive system furthermore can be attached to any other moving element in the room. Cinema Vertigo took place in april 2009 at Schmiede/Alte Saline, Pernerinsel Hallein, Austria.

Digital Slaves and Kaalam have develloped a new system for real time calligraphy and drawing. This system reproduces the calligraphic feeling and adds some new features from the digital world. The system is composed of one camera at 60 fps, a home made lamp and a touch screen. The touch interface allows the calligrapher to choose textures, width and height and also colors of the line.There is also some blending features. The rendering can be adapted to multiscreen projection via the touch interface. This system can be easily adapted to a different kind of drawing.

Abstraction & Improvization posted by jeffdooley on 17.05.09

This project was created for my final-year fine-art exam. Using different coloured paint brushes, a viewer could "paint" sound and image. The brushes, dipped in fluorescent paint, were tracked. Position data selected slices of pre-sampled jazz (sliced into bars). Images were generated by a combination of position data, data from the FFT of the jazz, and images of paintings which were exhibited along with the interactive work.

Now, when people lost control over these devices, in space trash settled barabashkas, as in a desolate house. Screen 7x4 metres of 4 triangles is an image of a broken satellite fragment. It reflects numerous satellites and debris on the Earth orbit. When the camera fixes high people activity, little luminous ghosts ("barabashka" in russian) appear and reflection is replaced by coloured patterns. video, more photos

Mayday 2009 posted by MSBERGER on 01.05.09

At Mayday 2009 vvvv was used to control most video installations on the main floor in Hall 1 of the Westfalenhallen Dortmund. The most eye catching installation was a 3d LED matrix consisting of 16x16x56=14336 G-LEC solaris RGB-LED Balls with a total dimension af apprx. 10x10x7m flown in the middle of the hall. VVVV was used to map real 3d and also standard 2d VJ content to the 3d matrix. The 2d VJ video was "converted" into 3d by spreading it into "timeslices" and shifting them in various controllable ways through the matrix. Switching between different modes ond effect was controlled via artnet fed into vvvv. To test how 3d and 2d content would look like on the real installation during preproduction a simulation of the matrix, of course also patched within vvvv, was used. The simulation was running on a seperate machine that was fed with exactly the same pixel per pixel DVI signal that has to be send to the solaris controllers at final setup. This way the whole system could be tested and comletely configured before setup without having to connect/install a single solaris node for testing. The second vvvv-controlled installation was a patchwork of 24 different sized plasma monitors in the stage all fed with different signals processed with vvvv. vvvv was not used for content creation but only for mapping external vj content to the 24 monitors. Effects like spanning the vj content across all monitors, showing same content on all monitors and several mirror and strobe modes were also controlled via artnet. Last but not least vvvv was (similar but smaller compared to earlier years) used to control apprx. 100 ColorKinetics iColorFlexSLX LED strands (50 RGB pixels each) built into the back of the stage. Each pixel is individually addressed through vvvv using UDP. vvvv programming was done for satis&fy AG Deutschland, lighting designer was MartinKuhn and main VJ was Marcos Kern

ROSPO posted by ddf on 15.04.09

The main goal of ROSPO is to be the core of a bigger creation process in which the architect takes part as "data selector" and "audiovisual suggestions user". The name "rospo" stands for the italian noun for "toad". The behaviour of this machine is very similar to a toad: extremely sensitivity to movements coming from environment. Every kind of "reaction" of Rospo system will be due to the audiovisual trasformation of the environment infos & videos here >>t-FATA

TodaysArt 08 - Processing Light posted by eno on 20.09.08

Outdoor Show in The Hague by MAXALOT Gallery, 26-27 September 2008 Press Release What if you had a special little helper who could assist your own creativity into creating the most intricate layout of various curious and beautifully detailed objects and things. Who would be the real creator? What if you had actually made this special little helper yourself to begin with? Artists working with programming do just that, they create a very powerful creator and let them do the hard work. Through computer software algorithms written in various scripting languages more and more artists now use these powerful tools to have information generate mind blowing imagery. This "processing" of information happens in a combination of order and disorder, and although most behaviours are very much so controlled by the artists, the outcome is always somewhat of a surprise. For this event, this public outdoor exhibition, Maxalot will present a selection of todays finest generative artists and have their work light up part of the VROM building next to The Hague's Central Station using another powerful tool, Light.

disjecta posted by patrick on 03.09.08

disjecta is an installation by me, Patrick Raddatz comprising of 72 split flap modules. Fragments of own texts, snippets of recorded talks and the remnants of excursions in books and music are cut-up like on display for a while, aleatorically selected. Seconds pass by, the display time varying unpredictably until that very sentence starts to mutate. Single letters or words change, altering meanings, changing directions. And again after some time has passed, keywords of those sentences appear, one writing over the other, until the next cycle of full sentences gets displayed. disjecta is a textual process characterized by remembering and decay, echoes of a past in variable distance and the transformation and creation of opinions. This installation came to life during my MESO Artist in Residence term and runs on a fine patch created by Sebastian Oschatz (already hacked by me :D ), who has realized the core technical development along with Wolfgang Schemmert of Cinetix, based on my reverse engineering of this stone age technology during my internship at MESO. It will be soon on display at the Festival Junger Talente 2008 and my first solo show at the 1822-Forum in Frankfurt am Main. Yay!

ZEN STATION by Jannis Kreft posted by jannis on 18.04.08

VIDEO DOCUMENTATION The ZEN STATION is a bio-feedback controlled game for two players. The heartrate and the blood oxygen level of both players are measured in realtime using sensor technology. The goal of the game is to beat the antagonist simply by being cool. Whoever manages to stay calmer over a period of time wins the game. The opponents sit on both sides of a 2m x 1m x 35cm long box. The rink is projected from above. At the beginning of a game each player needs to attach a sensor to the earlobe. When the actual heartrate appears in front of each player, both players have to touch a round metal field build in the box to start the game.Once the pulse rates of both players are shown, a blue line appears on the rink: The Annihilator The Annihilator moves towards the player with higher pulse. If the blue line touches a players finger the game is lost. By placing a finger on the metal plate a player starts generating energy balls in defined intervals. The lower a players blood oxigen level the faster the player starts a new round of generation. The appearance of the generated energy balls is also depending on the players heartrate. If a player is calm the balls are bigger and shoot out further and have more energy, if a player has a high pulse the balls do not travel far, are small and not powerful. If The Annihilator hits a previously generated ball the form explodes and releases its energy. The burst sets back The Annihilator thus the player wins time. If an energy ball is big it sets back the blue line further then if the energy ball is small. If there are many energy balls in one row the power adds up and the rebound that pushes back the Annihilator gets enormously big. At times it might make sense to raise one`s own pulse in order to draw The Annihilator into one`s own lines... If the antagonist has no balls to shield him the rebound of the explosion will drive The Annihilator directly into the opponents end zone and the game is won instantly. www.DeinLieblingsgestalter.de Jannis presented the ZEN STATION at the NODE08 Media Arts Festival.

Mix U Up! posted by colorsound on 17.04.08

Mix U Up! is an interactive game for three players, developed by Abraham Manzanares, Javier Lloret, Jordi Puig and Paola R. Salillas. Cyan, magenta, and yellow circles are projected on the playground floor; each player chooses a color that will represent them and follow them as they move around the area. A variety of colored rectangles are then projected on the floor, and time begins to count down. Players have to move and match their circle to the identically colored rectangles to gain more time. However, not only cyan, magenta, and yellow colored rectangles are projected. Players must combine their own circles to create different colors in order to catch the mixed colors on the floor. Teamwork is sometimes necessary, but players should not forget that ultimately only one will survive. You can watch a video here Mix U Up! was exhibited at node08 . Thanks a lot guys .

Using vvvv to create Rorschach-like images posted by zeh on 09.12.07

The Rorschachoscope 2 uses vvvv to create images that resemble the images used in the Rorschach inkblot test. The project uses and a collection of different PS2 shaders to transform video input, manipulating its shape and color to create the inkblot-like images in real time. Visitors could interact with the installation to create their own images by moving around, as if they were in front of some kind of psychological mirror. User movement was also manipulated in a way that tries to simulate ink (to better understand it, see real installation footage or a test video captured directly from vvvv). If visitors so desire, they could also save the image by clapping their hands once (or just making some loud noise). The current images were then saved, and uploaded to a web page that holds the saved Rorschach-esque shapes as well as the original video input frame that created to them. This project was created by Zeh Fernando for the Digital Interface Design course at Senac São Paulo (Brazil).

SISTEMI EMOTIVI Interactive Wall posted by korriander on 06.12.07

In Florenz Italy opened a new space for contempory art la Strozzina at Palazzo Strozzi. For the first exhibition “EMOTIONAL SYSTEMS Contemporary Art Between Emotion and Reason” Franziska Nori asked me to develop a Installation to visualize some of the contents of the exhibit. I developed an Interactive Wall which allows up to eight Visitor to navigate the contents created by Franzisak Nori and Dr. Martin Steinhoff. When a word is touched its implications show up or another content of a connected Layer moves to the center. The contents are related with the different factors of influence on the production of Art. Videolink Concept and Content: Franziska Nori and Dr. Martin Steinhoff Graphic: Martin Bader and Jochen Leinberger Programming, Interaction Concept and Hardware: Jochen Leinberger Many Thanks go to the Team of La Strozzina - I had some nice days on site while setting up the Installation. The Exhibition is curated by Franziska Nori and Martin Steinhoff 30 November 2007 – 3 February 2008 Opening hours: daily 11,00 a.m.– 8,30 p.m. Monday closed Technical Things: The hole System is patched in vvvv.To handle all 300 entries in italian and english Language I scripted and patched a v4cck (v4 content creation kit). All words where written into one XML file. Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Script generated all 600 Textures as well as an XML file with attributes about size and position of the text content. The whole v4 Patch was controlled by this XML file and allowed precise positioning of the textures.

vitamin B posted by Jannes on 30.11.07

vitamin B is a project to explore digital and tangible reading. It is an interactive table with tangible interface objects to browse bookpages and libraries. We developed this project during a two week prototyping workshop at Umea Institut of Design, Sweden. We used Arduino, Fiducials and a Griffin Powermate as inputs. I am really happy about what we got out of these two weeks and thinking about making a major project out of this. So ideas and critiques are highly welcome! see the video here!
