8.field is an immersive light and sound environment by Luc Bokor-Smith.  It is comprised of over 3,000 individually-addressable RGB LEDs and four speakers, which are driven by a generative audiovisual system composed in Max/MSP.

The light and color data are spilled out from Jitter matrices within Max, and output via the Art-Net DMX protocol to an ENTTEC Pixelator.  The audio environment is primarily comprised of additive synthesis, filtered noise, and gated low-frequency sine tones, and is designed for quadraphonic systems.

When composing, Bokor-Smith drew inspiration from films of the 1980s, along with the work of artists such as Dan Flavin and Jenny Holzer.  8.field premiered at Brown University in Providence, RI from March 19-23 2018, where it was presented in part by the Brown Arts Initiative.

The foundation of Giuliana Funkhouser’s MFA research project AfterMath is a  Max patch interpreting varying viewpoints of events unfolding around Puerto Rico's "storm of the century" through a 4-channel spatialized sound art installation. Randomized elements within this  computer program are based on numerical datasets detailing information  about Puerto Rico such as exit-traffic and mortality estimates following  the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season. Synthesized drones modulated by  sonically interpreted data harmonize with and interrupt field recordings  from daily life on the island – including the song of the endemic frog coqí and conversations during a blackout at a restaurant. AfterMath is  an ode to those who have moved on or survived to tell the tale after  living through catastrophic events exacerbated by negligent disaster response.
