Now this looks funky … and it’s free
STEIM presents NoiseFold
Composed and Performed by David Stout and Cory Metcalf
David Stout and Cory Metcalf will discuss their installation and performance works exploring bio-mimetic structures within complex audio-visual systems. The pair will also perform a new full length work, NoiseFold. NoiseFold premieres at the Festival Internationale d’Art Video in Casablanca, Morroco on March 25.
NoiseFold is an interactive visual-music-noise performance that draws equally from mathematics, science and the visual and sonic arts. This networked performance duet explores the use of infrared and electromagnetic sensors to manipulate and fold virtual 3-D objects that emit their own sounds. The work integrates multiple techniques including; real-time 3-D animation, mathematic visualization, recombinant non-linear data-base, A-life simulation, image to sound transcoding, complex data feedback structures and a variety of algorithmic processes used to generate both sonic and visual skins. The result is a theater of emergence and alchemical transformation existing within an intricate cybernetic system.
