Digitizing the work of Max Mathews

Nick Donovan

The whole work is built in Max using a number of hacks, Google earth footage mixed with the auvi objects and the accelerometer data from the globe is scaled to modes similar to those in some of Eno's 'music for airports' tracks. The visuals are then split into an 3 screen enveloping environment, via a matrox tripplehead2go, with each screen containing four different layers of touch responsive video.
