Artist Research

Sonasphere-Karl D.D Willis

The video of this explaining how it works and how different elements of it change and interact with each other was very informative. The technology behind it seems very complex to me. Here is a blurb about it from the website--->

Sonasphere is an audio visual application for Mac OSX, which represents audio samples, effects and mixers as spherical objects within 3d space. These objects interact with each other in a generative way to produce interesting and complex audio visual results. An installation version of Sonasphere was exhibited atICC in Tokyo, in an exhibition called Ne_xt, a new generation of Media artists from April 23rd, 2004 - June 27th, 2004. The main application interface is projected from above onto the floor and users who enter the projection area have their movements tracked and fed back into the application. Users can manipulate and interact with the environment by walking back and forward. Thus changing the makeup of the environment and moreover the audio output. User movement is tracked by a CCD video camera mounted above the projection area.
