Computer

By Grégory Lasserre & Anaïs met den Ancxt

Aleas arose from a reflection about how to materialise/draw sound with 3D images. It is a synthesis software, treating sounds and abstract images, able to create a dialogue with reality by using tactile sensors. It thus creates an interactive, sensitive relationship with the audience.

It allows to create, modify, observe and manipulate moving 3D shapes. By manipulating the sensors, the spectator can continuously intervene on the whole structure by playing with the different variables: order, side-by-side positioning, overlapping, speed, rhythm, harmonic pitch…

Thus, by positioning new materials, users create sustained tunes made of rhythmic relationships animated by subtle temporal intervals.
Each user appropriates the system as he create particular processes of repetitive poliphony where parts overlap then disappear into hypnotic swirls.
The audience determines the future of the work by experimenting with infinite orchestrations. They easily control the tune thus generated: a direct relation between man, image and music.

Uncontrol is an experimentation place. You can play with a lot of algorithmic toys and download the source code.

You've probably heard about Sony's dirty trick called the rootkit, installed on your PC when you insert an audio CD from the Sony music label.

Metin Seven created this illustration regarding the subject matter, for the Dutch Computer!Totaal magazine.
