This is the documentation of WHITEvoids video projector based digital stage lighting system. The system was initially commissioned for the theater play "Fanny and Alexander" by theater director Sebastian Hartmann. The piece inspired by Ingmar Bergmans movie premiered in September 2011 at Leipzigs Central Theater and will be on show until May 2012.
WHITEvoid designed a projector based digital lighting system with integrated depth camera tracking to pixel map the whole stage area of about 120m2. This includes a large scale Neo Rauch painting as a backdrop. Since the theater play used a flexible scene order, we enabled the lighting designer to select or deselect actors on the fly via remote. This way making them active or inactive as triggers for digital light follow effects and generative visuals. Multiple effects can be assigned to individual actors in almost infinite combinations. Additionally virtual "light agents" are autonomously interacting with the real actors on stage.
Early stage design drawings / concept visuals set into the proposed plot and landscape. The project is live, land acquired, cleared and ready to go.
The indicated landscape contours are a marriage of a site survey and Google-Earth technology, which provides an extremely accurate representation of the landscape we are working with.

!932 building on left with a new floor on top added. The glazing between this and new campanile is the new main entrance. Plans and description by Jeremy Dixon here.
It is difficult to imagine a more glittering historical literary figure in Britain than Shakespeare and consequently Stratford has achieved the status of a hallowed town of his birth. It was obvious that his much loved plays had to be performed by the best actors in the best theatres possible and true to form this search for the Holy Grail has continued for centuries and is unlikely to cease.
Stratford built the first Memorial Theatre in 1879 which was destroyed in a fire in 1926. Elisabeth Scott, a young graduate from AA built a new theatre in 1932. A much loved modern building of its time embellished with a contemporary proscenium arch stage theatre with some lovely Art Deco features, which predictably received grade II* listing.
Michael Reardon redesigned a very popular small 430 seat theatre in the adjoining building in 1986 using a thrust stage design reflecting the Elysian days of Shakespearean theatre era.
When it became obvious in late 20th century that 1930s building had to be redeveloped the positive feed back from Reardon’s small next door Swan Theatre and possibly Globe replica in London encouraged the inclusion of a larger thrust stage theatre.
Ian Ritchie built a temporary 1048 seat full sized thrust stage Courtyard Theatre in 2007, effectively a working prototype for Bennetts forthcoming 2010 design.
Alterations and additions to any building of remotely architectural significance in Britain has become a typically complicated game not unlike a ‘snake & ladder’ but without any obvious rules. However there are dozens of unwritten rules and etiquettes deemed to be desirable but architects have to establish these and fight for them.
This resulting complex building conglomerate is one of the best examples of this fascinating game. Looking at the building in its setting, walking in and around it is like exploring an archaeological site, exposing remains from different ages, one on the top of another or next to each other.
The new campanile (a viewing platform) is a brilliant reintroduction referring to original Victorian building on one hand and Italian Shakespeare scenes on other. It also denotes the building’s importance within the town and in turn can be seen from miles of adjoining countryside.
This is our current stage design. We are always looking for inspiration on stage sets, if you have any please post.

Built in 2 stages for Ruthven Frederick Ruthven-Smith of London, architects Alfred Barham Black & Henry Ernest Fuller, brick with cement dressings, first stage with 16 flats completed Jan 1912, second stage designed by Black opened Nov 1915. When sold 1954 to SA Government, there were 44 flats, 6 shops, 2 small bulk stores, and a two-storey showroom. The building fell into disrepair and by 1976 had lost its balconies, later saved from demolition, renovated & restored to resemble original, now serviced apartments.
“A huge palm was growing in front of the old building in Pulteney-street, which was, demolished recently to make room for the new residential flats which Mr Ruthven Smith is going to erect there. It was planted many years ago by Miss Townsend, the lessee of one of the houses, and she presented it to the Zoological Gardens. Last week the palm, with about 1½ tons of earth in a ball round its roots, was lifted after considerable trouble and placed on one of the drays belonging to the Zoo When the load had been conveyed a little way along North-terrace the vehicle gave way, and the palm had to be left there all night. On the following morning the transfer was completed, and the palm now occupies a position at the north eastern corner of the Gardens, opposite the new wild dog open cages.” [Advertiser 18 Jul 1910]
“Ruthven Mansions. The fine block of residential flats being erected in Pulteney street for Dr. R. F. Ruthven Smith, of London, are now nearing completion. The mansions will contain 16 sets of flats, varying in size from two to six rooms. Each flat will be provided with its own bathroom. Electric light, electric lifts, and hot-water service throughout are a few of the conveniences of this thoroughly modern building. Provision is made for a spacious roof garden, and a restaurant will find a place on the ground floor.” [Register 8 Jun 1911]
“There is in all accommodation for 16 families. The ground floor is devoted to four shops. Two of these, with their respective basements, have been fitted up as the ‘Cafe Rubeo’, complete with a fine kitchen containing a range, bain-marie, griller, cool chamber, &c. The walls and floor of the kitchen are tiled, thus enabling the whole place to be easily kept clean. . . The walls of the dining room are tinted a pale green, with a dark green ‘lincrusta’ dado, copper fittings, and leaded lights in quiet tones. Another shop has been fitted up as a hairdressing saloon.” [Advertiser 15 Feb 1912]
“The main entrance to the mansions is through a handsome pair of cedar and bevelled glass ‘sesame’ doors, the first of their kind to be introduced into Adelaide. These doors open mechanically immediately a visitor steps upon the mat outside, but so ingenious is the device by which they are controlled that they will not open to the force of strong winds.” [Register 15 Feb 1912]
“Some Original Holders. One of the absentees, who is still represented by a descendant, in the ownership of Adelaide city property, was Mr. S. G. Smith, whose nephew, Mr. Ruthven Smith, is the proprietor of those handsome residential flats known as ‘Ruthven Mansions’ in Pulteney-street, which are built on part of the acre which was selected by Mr. S. G. Smith in March, 1837. Mr. Ruthven Smith also owned, until he disposed of them quite recently, several acres in Grote-street.” [Advertiser 2 Aug 1913]
“Pulteney-street Improvements. Mr. C. B. Hardy, as attorney for Mr. Ruthven Frederick Smith, of England, has accepted a tender from Mr. Walter C. Torode to complete the building in Pulteney-street, Adelaide, known as Ruthven Mansions. Mr. A. Barham Black, L.R.I.B.A.. is the architect. The work under notice will be an extension of the present structure up to Austin-street, with basements, shops, residential flats, and chambers, at a cost of about £17,000.” [Advertiser 25 May 1914]
“Additions to Ruthven mansions. . . Some months ago plans were prepared by Mr. A. Barham Black for extensions to the building; and Mr. Walter Torode undertook to materialize the architect's design. . . To allow the occupants of the apartments to obtain an unobstructed view of the city and hills, provision has been made for an elevated look-out or upper flat above the roof.” [Register 7 May 1915]
“The first block of Ruthven Mansions was completed about January, 1912, having taken 18 months to erect. The second block secured attention early the next year. Mr. Ruthven-Smith by then having purchased Mr. David Tweedie's block of land on the north side of the first block, which consisted (apart from ground floor shops and restaurant) of two floors subdivided into uniformly planned six-roomed flats. . . The ground floor was planned as three shops. The whole of the three shops, as well as all the basement; has been let to Messrs. Hosking Bros., ''Craft House," the well-known art furniture firm,” [The Mail 20 Nov 1915]
“His Worship the Mayor of Adelaide (Mr. Allan Simpson) declared the building open, and, in a few appropriate words, proposed the health of Mr. R. F. Ruthven Smith, who is the absent owner of Ruthven Mansions, and Mr. C. B. Hardy suitably responded. As a scheme for supplying to Adelaide what has been a very long-ielt want in most cities, this scheme dates from August, 1909, when Mr. C. B. Hardy, attorney for Mr. R. F. Ruthven-Smith, of London, asked his architect, Mr. A. Barnham Black, for sketch plans adapted to the area of land the owner was able to set apart for the purpose. The first intention was to build what ould have been more "chambers" than residential flats, but the scheme shortly took the latter definite form.” [Critic, Adelaide 24 Nov 1915]
“a water main on the west side of Pulteney-street burst at 12.15 a.m. today, and, rising 60 feet into the air, the water flooded several flats in Ruthven Mansions. . . Many thousands of gallons spurted through a hole in the road about three feet in diameter, and spread across about 50 feet in front of the mansions and sprayed in through windows on the fourth storey. It was not until 1.15 a.m. that the water was turned off.” [Advertiser 16 Oct 1931]
“By a majority decision the High Court dismissed with costs today the appeal of Cox Bros. (Aust.) Ltd., occupiers of premises in Pulteney street, Adelaide, and Ruthven Frederick Ruthven-Smith. owner of the premises, against the South Australian Commissioner of Public Works. Cox Bros, claimed £3,000 for damage done to its stock through the bursting of a water main in the street. Smith claimed £500 damages caused to the premises. Mr. Justice Piper, who heard the action in Adelaide, found that there was no negligence on the part of the Commissioner, and gave judgment in his favor.” [Advertiser 7 Nov 1933]
“Ruthven Mansions. . . Until recently the first floor of the building was occupied as a large showroom, but in view of the constant demand for accommodation in the Mansions, the management decided to reconstruct the whole of that area into additional flats. Messrs. Garlick & Jackman were the architects to whom the work was entrusted. Now that which was once a well-disposed showroom has been transformed into seven delightfully modern flats. . . For demonstration purposes, a full suite has been tastefully furnished by John Martin & Co. Ltd.” [The Mail 29 Jul 1939]
“A well-known four-story city building — Ruthven Mansions in Pulteney street — will be sold at auction soon. . . The property consists of 44 self-contained flats, six shops, two small bulk stores, and a two-story showroom. . . The building, which covers the whole of the land, has frontages to three streets. . . to Pulteney. . . to Austin, and . . . along Porters lane, Residential tenancies have about three years to go. The property is owned by Mrs. D. R. Ashworth, daughter of Mr. R. F. Ruthven-Smith, after whom the building was named.” [News 2 Jul 1954]
“Ruthven Mansions, Pulteney street, which was sold by auction this week to the State Government for £90,000, will be used to accommodate additional staff at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. . . little alteration would be necessary to the building which should be ready In three years. . . at present there was no accommodation for the staff of the large casualty block being planned at the hospital and the mansions had been bought to house this staff. The building, which would accommodate 200 nurses or 100 nursing sisters, would be used as a nurses' home for a number of years, but would ultimately be disposed of when a new nurses' home was built near the hospital.” [Advertiser 13 Aug 1954]

VISUAL COMPOSER PERFORMANCE
I perform my music with my interactive stage design.
It is best to experience my performance live.
I use Ableton Live with an M-Audio Microphone & Keyboard, and the keys of my MacBook Pro to make my tracks.
For this video, I am using an instrumental, but I am also a recording artist.
I make my music, write the lyrics, record my vocals, mix and master my albums.
I then create all the visuals.
I create every single aspect of my work to give you a spherical 4 dimensional experience of my Art.
To create the interactive animation, I write code in Processing (Open Source Programming Language based on Java).
In this video, my hands are controlling the visuals. For this, I use the Leap Motion sensor.
I use a Processing Library by onformative (a studio for generative design based in Berlin) called LeapMotionForProcessing to animate my visuals using Leap Motion.
The animation follows my hand movements in real-time and on key with accurate precision.
The visual is an animation within an animation with symmetry, which makes it a bit more challenging to control, making it even more fun.
Some of the visuals are generated by the music's decibel levels.
The main drive behind my work is PLAY. Play leads to fun, which leads to joy. Following our joy is the driving force in my life, and I want to share it with others. This is why I create interactive installations where people and children of different races and religions get to play and have loads of fun in a magical environment.
The VISUAL COMPOSER PERFORMANCE is a emotional piece with a dark track I made to expose the pain I feel everyday trying to survive in society. I perceive that the social system is set up by certain people to their benefit, while it is handicapping many others for whom it does not fit. I also see that many are unhappy with their jobs. Physicians and lawyers have high rates of suicide according to reports I have read. This is a time for us to question everything, and create a new social ecosystem that benefits all. Including the animals going instinct. I understand the Survival of The Fittest approach, but it does not have to be this way. I understand that nature is very violent and brutal, such as humans, but I also see a greater reality than this animalistic self-destroying one. It takes heart and courage to do what you love all day and all night all of the time forever. If you are willing to die for what you perceive as your purpose, then you are a Freedom Fighter… or simply, an Artist.
Thank you for watching this video and possibly sharing it.
Love Universal to All
Unity In Diversity

We revised the Collide stage design in order to incorporate a 6x22 projected image. The multi-projector display was a test to explore what it would take to employ this technology for our weekly services
ROSMAN, NC (January 19, 2015): On Monday night, January 19, Rosman High School celebrated its 50th annual Miss Bengal pageant. There couldn't be a better night for celebrating passionate students and future leaders in our schools.
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, “The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character — that is the goal of true education.”
Rosman High School offers numerous programs targeting character education, both as part the curriculum and through clubs and service opportunities. The 50-year history of the Miss Bengal Pageant is one way Rosman High has reinforced the importance of character. The pageant has long taken place on the Monday night of semester break (with a Saturday snow date) for a variety of reasons.
Participants are evaluated on their talent, poise, future plans, and comportment: many of the things colleges and employers look for in our graduates, and their future students or employees.
This year's participants were:
Abby Buchanan ('18)
Blakely Owen ('16)
Madison Gingrich ('15)
Emma Henderson ('18)
Alexandria Galloway ('16)
Olivia Bishop ('16)
Robin Crowe ('17)
Jacey Voris ('15)
Claire Harris ('15)
Cassidy Knye ('16)
Madison Allen ('18)
Megan Brightwell ('16)
Shaylon Combs ('16)
Carli Batson ('15)
Hayleigh Mann ('15)
These highly-committed students, and many attendees, keep very busy schedules with school and extracurriculars, so the night is kept free for this special event, and tickets sell out weeks in advance.
The opening introduction and crowning were performed by Miss Bengal 2014, senior Hannah Reese. Former “Bengal” winners Loretta Sanders, Emily Reese Jones, Missy West, and Ashley Harris all emceed portions of the evening, from interviews and school dress, to the talent and evening gown competitions. Past winners Ashleigh Jamerson (Bengal ’12) and Hannah Reese performed talent at the intermissions as well.
RHS principal Donivan Edwards noted that, with a teacher workday scheduled before and after, students and staff had the run of the stage and school, setting up the elaborate stage design. Tammy Hall, teacher and pageant organizer, further explained how “Bengal” fits into Rosman High’s vision for character:
“I truly believe that Bengal is a very positive activity for the young women at Rosman High School. Bengal promotes community service, it builds character and confidence, and it allows students to reflect on who they are and what is important to them. The girls get to form relationships with people that they may not normally get to spend time with and they get to share their talent with everyone. Additionally, it provides a scholarship to the winner if they further their education after high school.
“I believe that Bengal does exactly what Mr. King was talking about in the quote mentioned above.”
The panel of judges included Dustin Cox, Jeremy Gibbs, Melody Gorman, Judy Edwards, and Tammy Reeves Duffy.
On the same night, RHS students also led the way during MLK activities centered around Brevard College. Rosman Middle and High chorus teacher Grayson Barton shared that Anna Carrillo (RHS ’16) and Casey Mesaeh (RHS ’15) both sang at Brevard College's MLK Celebration on Monday, January 19, at the Porter Center: “It was a big performance for them, and they both did an outstanding job!”
