Panoptidrome is an interactive audio-video surveillance sculpture that tracks the faces of people in a space and creates a 3-D scan of them. The scan is then multiplied and videomapped onto square tiles on the wall. The piece was created with Max 7, Kinect V2 sensor, and security mirrors. The Kinect V2 was hooked up to Max 7 and used Dale Phurrough‘s dp.kinect2 external object.

Presented at Videodrome 2015 at the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art, Toronto, Canada.

MindDraw by China Blue in collaboration with Christopher Konopka and neuroscientist Seth Horowitz is a pioneering real-time interactive viewer participation work that enables people to create beautiful brain based images. Through the usage of an EEG data sensor brain waves are converted into stunning constantly fluxing images and sound. To engage the work, the participant  sits near the projection and simply dons the brainwave sensor headset. With the headset in place MindDraw enables the user to look into their own mind and see their internal world reflected in dynamic externalized patterns. And, although the brain wave frequencies monitor the conditions of attention, awareness, relaxation, sleep, and cognition, MindDraw shows how all of these elements emerge and interact in an intricate dance. 

With  MindDraw we are extracting one of nature’s most complex patterns, this is more than just a simple light and sound summation of brainwave frequencies but the epiphenomenon of the mind.

Even in times of modern warfare, personal security is a subject of each personality. If you praise your freedom and want to govern your own needs then SASER SAS24P3L is for you. It is an ultimate tool for personal security with an ability to detect all possible radiation by reading full spectrum data in real-time and signalizing the converged threat on a 3D modern display. The tool intended for all types of security and can be installed on servers with proved functionality of week’s precision.

Full-band prevention of radio sources can potentially breach any incoming IP radio station up to 192-bit with successful resolution of waveguide detectors for signal denormalization and prevents: impulse pinging, PWM signaling, White and Pink noise attacks and signal-locking. For prevention you need a Windows or Mac computer with sufficient processor and memory resources, audio card and SASER SAS24P3L software.

Whole software is planned, projected and written using Max 6 and Gen~.

This algorithm focuses on when to generate notes, based on analyses of syncopation and repetition within Live MIDI clips. As the algorithm morphs between inputs, transition tables are continually updated with probabilities of next attack times. The application is written in Swift, communicating via Max-for-Live and OSC.

Two types of visualization are implemented in Jitter:

1) On a Max-for-Live device are two graphs, each showing probabilities for the most probable next attacks on the X-axis, based on the current attack shown on the Y-axis. 

2) A separate video window continually jumps to a collection of future video frames. Each future frame is crossfaded according to the probability of the attack time coinciding with that frame. A second video window shows time unfolding normally, catching up with the frame shown to the left just as each attack is generated.

These visual components are intended not so much as artistic output, but as stabs at better intuiting the algorithm.

WebernUhrWerk (translated: Webern's Clockwork) was composed as an open-air sound installation for the 60th anniversary of Webern's death which took place on 15 September 2005 on the market place at Mittersill. A loudspeaker placed into the open roof window of the city hall was connected to the audio output of this program. Every quarter of an hour, a short musical phrase with a Carillon sound was generated on the fly which could be heard all over the city - like the sounds of bells ringing every 15 minutes.

This action will be continued every year on September 15th. If you want to share the memory of Webern with us, you can join us by starting the WebernUhrWerk program and play its sound output over a loudspeaker system - at home, during a public event or even in open space.

The piece is based on a Max patch that automatically composes dodecaphonic Carillon music based on the twelve-tone row of Anton Webern's last composition - commemorating his sudden and unexpected death on 15 Sep 1945 as he was accidentially shot dead by an American GI. The program simulates a Carillon which plays a short musical phrase every 15 minutes which never repeats itself.

For each quarter of an hour, four individual compositional models have been created. Although their outlines are defined, infinite variants are obtained by utilizing random procedures and aleatoric methods for constructing the rhythmic structure.

WebernUhrWerk is written in MaxMSP using my Real Time Composition Library (RTC-lib), a collection of compositional algorithms and tools which I have been developing since 1992. The programming structure of "WebernUhrWerk" is completely transparent - if you double-click one of the grey boxes, its hidden content would show in a new window.

This project was started in 2005 for the 60th anniversary of Webern's death. On July 21st, 2015, a new version was released as a free standalone app with authentic sound samples from the Belfry Carillon in Ghent, Belgium.

The main patches control a live session fully automated (via MIDI ! Bloom Box started before Max4Live arrived…) and allows to define advanced sequences of clip recs and plays and stop. It's designed to be used as a Super Live Looper ! Using this the performer can focus on what he's playing and not what button he has to press.

It also handles the gig setlist and dynamically loads live sessions, and custom patches depending on the song (for Guitar wii controller or various sensors used on stage).

It also allows to control track levels and sends via a distant iPad running touch OSC. So that the mix is directly made inside the ableton live session and not on a physical console. Only two line level cables, less physical patching, less problems, more places willing to welcome the show. And he can move in the crowd for better hearing or even to grab a beer.

The position of the magnetic blocks is tracked with Jitter. Position information is parsed by Max and mapped to musical parameters. Max is also in charge of supplying audio source material to the surface mount transducer.
