Project: Exploring Audio-Visual

Idea

The main goal of the interactive installation is to create an atmosphere consisting of a combination of audio and visuals which can be shaped by the viewer. The viewer stands in front of a pair of speakers and is either surrounded by lights (or views a projection on a screen).

The viewer has the opportunity to shape the atmosphere using a smartphone or tablet. It should be possible to crossfade between different states of the installation.

These atmospheres shall represent different environments. E.g. a city or a forrest. The viewer could now mix the city with the forrest and experience this combinations.

Sketch

FL and FR represent the speakers (Front Left and Front Right). V indicates the viewer facing the speakers and the circles marked with an x represent the light sources.

Technical solutions

Sound can be looped samples/ recordings and can be generated by max. For the lights LEDs in a case, which diffuses the light can be used and can be controlled by an Arduino which communicates with max.

Inpiration and References

après l'avant a binaural electronic sound performance based on the piece "tenet opera rotas" by Karlheinz Essl.

-== Sensing physical data ==
-I used a homemade capacitive sensor as an input and an led as well as sound as an output.
-Such a sensor can be built by connecting two pins of the Arduino with an resistor with a relativly high value (I used 1MOhm) and a conducting object eg. aluminium or copper foil.
-[https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/CapacitiveSensor/ Capacitive sensing with Arduino]
-The Max/Msp-Patch recives readings from the sensor. There are dials implementet so calibrate the range of the sensor.
-This data is used to controll the pitch an oscillator and the brightness of an attached led.

 === Technical solutions ===
-The interface the user is interacting with can be designed with OSC ([https://hexler.net/touchosc TouchOSC]) wich controls the max-patcher.
 Sound can be looped samples/ recordings and can be generated by max.
 For the lights LEDs in a case, which diffuses the light can be used and can be controlled by an Arduino which communicates with max.
