SOUND+IMAGE PROJECT 1 RESEARCH
For this project I have been analyzing the properties of “Hemi-Sync”, hypnotism, and Sensorial Interfaces. this work hopes to create a psychological space in which the audience can witness and utilize. In short terms, the work is an experiment designed to test the producibility of a mass-produced individual experience via the montaging of sound and video.
This is only one node in my longterm research of art and Brain-Computer interfaces (BCI).
Here are some links to different media I have been researching…
The Gateway Experience
Hollis Frampton - Zorns Lemma (1970)
Experimental Stop-Motion Animation
Developing a space schematic…
Testing Experimental Viewing Setting. For this project I was thinking about creating a obscure viewing setup where the video is project on the audience and they are viewing the video from a outside camera’s perspective. This aspect of the project is inspired by Bruce Nauman’s Going Around The Corner. I am interested in having people work to try and dissociate.
Artificial Intelligence Research
While thinking about how to make the video I ran into an issue. The accompnaying audio is 33 minutes long, if I were to create a stop-motion animation that was that long I would have to create approximately 47,520 frames/stills. I simply do not have enough time to do this. This lead me to start researching a quicker solution. If I utilize artificial intelligence I could potentially create all the animations I need in a couple of days of rendering. This lowers the production time from a couple weeks to a couple of days. In my research, I initially tried a free text to animation platform online called GENMO and created a few animations. Unfortunately it just didn’t meet my requirements of production. So after 5 or so hours of troubleshooting and working with classmates and faculty forums I configured an access point on my university’s super computer; HiPer Gator and got slightly closer to animating larger volume animations from the text associated to the audio.
Below are my first attempts on GENMO and a video of us coding…
