This is the prototype of the input sensor of the interactive piece I'm working on.

 

The sensor uses a modified version of Firmata to send CapSense readings into Puredata which interprets the quality of the strokes and then modulates how a film plays in the piece.

 

On Thursday I'm teaching a workshop at InterAccess on the building blocks of Sensors+Arduino+Firmata+Puredata as building blocks for interactive works. (http://interaccess.org/workshops/series.php#pduino) It should be a lot of fun.

This program loads a set of jpeg images and displays them using Gem. They can be displayed fullscreen or in a window and you can change image using midi notes, a pedal or by having the program listen to a microphone and detect attacks (like clapping).

 

I created this program to display musical scores fullscreen and turn the page using a midi pedal but it's also useful for displaying lolcats! Lol!

 

I've already used the program in performances and installations. It's rough, but it works ok!

With a tide of change sweeping the globe and the socio-political landscape increasingly subject to crisis and change, automation, algorithms and AI are playing an influential role within this paradigm.

 

So who are we to trust? This panel of artists and technologists explores the complex anthropomorphic relationships we have with gadgets and robots and how this shapes our world view. The panel will include Kirsty Hassard, Jan de Coster, Professor Ruth Aylett and Julien Ottavi.

 

About the Panel

 

Kirsty Hassard is curator of the Hello, Robot. exhibition at V&A Dundee, which investigates how robots are helping to shape the world we live in, showing how design is a mediator in this relationship between human and machine. A relative newcomer to the world of robotics, she was previously assistant curator of Furniture, Textiles and Fashion at the Victoria and Albert Museum and was assistant curator on the Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion exhibition. She has an MA in History and a MLitt in Dress and Textile Histories from the University of Glasgow. She has lectured and published on the relationship between print culture and fashion in eighteenth century London and Paris.

 

Jan De Coster grew up with a vivid fascination for physics, science fiction stories and hacking stuff. In college he realized that all the stories around science were often far more appealing than the theory behind them, and in the mid 90’s he started on his first multimedia productions.

In 2007, Jan founded Slightly Overdone Robots, a production studio which explores the horizons of Human-Robot interaction, where he has been making interactive installations and Robots ever since.

On his quest to make Robots a more widely accepted creative medium, Jan is now teaching young and old about building Robots, focusing on the design and the process, and the way they make us feel.

In the late 90’s Jan De Coster started making interactive projects and physical installations, with a strong focus on storytelling.

Jan has a background in physics and engineering and worked at different Advertising agencies at the beginning of his career. In recent years, he started teaching and giving workshops and lectures about innovation, creativity and especially robots. These workshops have brought him to visit and engage with creative communities from Qatar to Mexico. His robots have been travelling the world as a part of different exhibitions and his social robots explore the meaning of human-robot interaction.

 

Prof Ruth Aylett – Ruth is Professor of Computer Sciences in the School of Maths and Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University. She researches Affective Systems, Social Agents in both graphical and robotic embodiments, and Human-Robot Interaction, as well as Interactive Narrative. She led three EU projects (VICTEC, eCIRCUS and eCUTE) in the period 2001-2012 applying empathic graphical characters to education against bullying (FearNot!) and in cultural sensitive (ORIENT, Traveller, MIXER). She also worked as a PI in the projects LIREC (investigating long-lived robot companions) and EMOTE (an empathic robot tutor). She led the EPSRC-funded network of excellence in interactive narrative, RIDERS. She is currently PI of the project SoCoRo (Socially Competent Robots) which is investigating the use of a mobile robot to train high-functioning adults with an Autism Spectrum Disorder in social interaction. She has authored more then 250 referred publications in conferences, journals and book chapters, and has been an invited speaker at various events, most recently AAMAS 2016.

 

Julien Ottavi – Doctor in Arts, Composer, Artist, Curator. A mediactivist, artist-researcher, composer / musician, poet and tongues destroyer, experimental filmmaker and an architect, founder and member of Apo33, Julien Ottavi is involved in research and creative work, combining sound art, real-time video, new technologies and body performances. Since 1997, he develops a composition work using voice and its transformation through computer. Active developer of audio/visual programs with Puredata, he has also developed since many years DIY electronics (radio transmitters, oscillators, mixers, amplifiers, video transmitters…etc) in the perspective of knowledge sharing on technological development. Main developer for the Gnu/Linux operating system APODIO for digital art and A/V & streaming diffusion. His practices is not limited to the art spheres but crosses different fields from technological development to philosophy / theoretical research, biomimetic analysis, robotics and experimentation. For many years he reflects on the relations between experimental practices and collective practices within the creation of autonomous collective groups, putting in question the authorship strategy of the “art ideology.”

My screen during performance of VitalLMTD!

 

If everything goes right, I don't have to touch the computer at all for the whole performance. Live has background sounds, loops, effects and one off sound cues all loaded and Pd controls playing, stopping and fading tracks in and out.

 

Pd is controlled by OSC messages from a WiiMote, my Arduino heartbeat sensor and MIDI messages from the Malletkat and Roland electronic drumset.

first play with the free reacTIVision open source, cross-platform computer vision framework in conjunction with puredata and a simple frequency modulator patch.

 

see/hear it in action on youtube: reactivision and puredata

Made for cellist "Chipper" to control custom musical software made using Pure Data, with her feet.

This is a keyboard encoder based, so could be used with other things like Ableton.

All recycled materials including screws (apart from laptop).

The pedals are like miniature diving boards of perspex that act as actuators for the original PTM switches from the keyboard.

currently have the leds working and being controlled by puredata (http://puredata.info/). Only one of the leds is wired incorrectly, but I think it should be easy enough to resolder (knock on wood).

Something is going wrong in my switch parallel to serial conversion though, need to debug.

Lasse Marhaug (b. 1974) has since the early 90ies been one of the most active artists in the so-called Norwegian noise scene. As a performer and composer he has contributed to well over 200 CD, vinyl and cassette releases over the years, as well as extensive touring and performing live in Europe, Asia and America. In addition to his solo work, Marhaug plays regularly in Jazkamer, Nash Kontroll, DEL and Testicle Hazard. Past projects and bands include Origami Replika and Lasse Marhaug Band. He has collaborated with several artists in the noise, improv, jazz, rock and extreme metal fields, as well as working with music for theatre, dance, installations and video.

Lasse's past collaborators include Merzbow, Kevin Drumm, Peter Rehberg, Otomo Yoshihide, Russell Haswell.

  

"Marhaug has an impressive range at his fingertips, veering wildly from shock-tactic maximal noise, to near-silent contemplative drones. Much of the time loud and noisy, but also playful and even quiet, wintry and respectful of space and silence" (Ed Pinset, The Sound Projector)

  

"It basically sounds like your speakers are damaged, or are going to be damaged soon if you don't take the fucking cd out of the player" (unknown online review)

  

220hex / Gisle Frøysland has for over a decade been one of the key figures of the Norwegisn electronic arts scene. He is a founding member of BEK - the Bergen Centre for Electronic Art, initiator/maintainer of the FLOSS videoapp MøB, and main organiser of the Piksel festival in Bergen, Norway. Since the early 80ies he has been working as a musician, VJ and visual artist, building installations where modern technology and communications is in the main theme and often using various kinds of sensors and cameras to interact with the audience.

She has an MA in History and a MLitt in Dress and Textile Histories from the University of Glasgow. She has lectured and published on the relationship between print culture and fashion in eighteenth century London and Paris.

 

Jan De Coster grew up with a vivid fascination for physics, science fiction stories and hacking stuff. In college he realized that all the stories around science were often far more appealing than the theory behind them, and in the mid 90’s he started on his first multimedia productions.

In 2007, Jan founded Slightly Overdone Robots, a production studio which explores the horizons of Human-Robot interaction, where he has been making interactive installations and Robots ever since.

On his quest to make Robots a more widely accepted creative medium, Jan is now teaching young and old about building Robots, focusing on the design and the process, and the way they make us feel.

In the late 90’s Jan De Coster started making interactive projects and physical installations, with a strong focus on storytelling.

Jan has a background in physics and engineering and worked at different Advertising agencies at the beginning of his career. In recent years, he started teaching and giving workshops and lectures about innovation, creativity and especially robots. These workshops have brought him to visit and engage with creative communities from Qatar to Mexico. His robots have been travelling the world as a part of different exhibitions and his social robots explore the meaning of human-robot interaction.

A mediactivist, artist-researcher, composer / musician, poet and tongues destroyer, experimental filmmaker and an architect, founder and member of Apo33, Julien Ottavi is involved in research and creative work, combining sound art, real-time video, new technologies and body performances. Since 1997, he develops a composition work using voice and its transformation through computer. Active developer of audio/visual programs with Puredata, he has also developed since many years DIY electronics (radio transmitters, oscillators, mixers, amplifiers, video transmitters…etc) in the perspective of knowledge sharing on technological development. Main developer for the Gnu/Linux operating system APODIO for digital art and A/V & streaming diffusion. His practices is not limited to the art spheres but crosses different fields from technological development to philosophy / theoretical research, biomimetic analysis, robotics and experimentation. For many years he reflects on the relations between experimental practices and collective practices within the creation of autonomous collective groups, putting in question the authorship strategy of the “art ideology.”
