I.V.Y. and me Pseudo-robot, Interactive video/audio performance, live drawing & live photo-collage by jamie griffiths at the Museum of Anthropology, Vancouver
jamie griffiths & Viviane Houle perform 'Water to Bone' at the Vancouver New Music Festival, Oct 2010
Viviane's voice 'sings the knot' into ever increasing complexities,as jamie also interacts, controls and responds, as they enter into a 45 minute verbal and visual dialogue on the perilous process of catastrophic personal change.
jamie's new performance instrument, (working name I.T.) built at STEIM in Amsterdam by jamie, with the design support of Marije Baalman (Hardware/Software Engineer) and her Sense/Stage technology. This is a working prototype and work is ongoing. The instrument allows re-configurable hand-held wireless control and generation of video, audio, lights and streaming data over networks as well as between softwares. It sends control and sensor data via radio transmission to a receiver on jamie's laptop.
Currently I.T. contains a Flex sensor, IR proximity sensor, accelerometer, magnetometer, 8 buttons (to be upgraded to 16 in next version), one rotary dial (more to come) & two touch-papers (pressure).
The next phase of design by early 2012 will add a small joystick, IR illumination, leds, a touch-screen & an embedded wireless camera. I.T. can be adapted for almost any kind of environmental or physical control sensors eg. temperature, humidity... seismography... (last one is a joke...)
