Notes and documentation of the creation of a piece with FA/DANC 3235 3.0 2006 Repertory/Reconstruction I, FA/DANC 3236 3.0 2006 Repertory II, Holly Small, and Don Sinclair
I was invited by Holly Small to work on projections and interactive video for Draw a Bicycle. The piece has four sections:
Bicycle projections were created by scanning dancers' drawings and using Max/MSP/Jitter to present and orchestrate the images. In part 1, images were presented at random sizes and locations syncronized to the music (bass and snare drum). In part 2, 4 dancers used bicycle lights off-stage in front of a web cam, whose input was manipulated using SoftVNS, to paint using the lights and their bodies. In part 4, images were orchestrated, again using random techniques this time to vary speed, path, size, and image choice, to move across the screen. Part 2 was done live in real time. I created the animated text with LiveType.
Prototypes of projections. Still need to clean up images.
