SoLu was designed to demonstrate André Rangel's theory of correspondence between sound and light at the 'EVA Conference - Electronic Visualisation and the Arts' which took place at the BCS - British Computer Society, London 2010. The proposed theory of correspondence can be accessed here. SoLu is a smaller and simplified version of the previous Colmus produced early in 2009. SoLu gives its users the control over a audiovisual algorithmic composition generated in real-time. This hyperinstrument was designed and produced at 3kta studios. Visual documentation was produced at 'Sala do Coro' from Portuguese Catholic University - UCP.

sample swarm from Daniel Bisig on Vimeo.
Interactive Swarm Space (ISS) explores the application of swarm simulations for the creation of interactive and immersive spaces. It aims to develop tools and strategies for establishing meaningful relationships between swarm behavior, interaction, perception, as well as musical and artistic expression. The project focuses on issues of multi-modal feedback and audio-visual spatialization which we deem central for a creative engagement with autonomous, self-organized and spatially distributed systems. This project is part of a research direction that explores the possibilities and challenges that artificial autonomous systems pose for artistic practice and performance.
We believe that in order to exploit the artistic potential of such systems, novel forms of interactivity, creativity, and aesthetics need to be found.

Heart Chamber Orchestra - Pixelache from pure on Vimeo.
Heart music, what would a symphony of hearts sound and look like, Terminalbeach (a collaboration between PURE and BERGER) visualized the heartbeats of 12 classical musicians of the Trondheim Sinfonietta in image and sound. Really interesting to see both media combined in this way…
Tech info:
PURE: “Visualisation is done with PD|Gem, composition and real-time notation with MAX/Jitter, analysis and statistics with both. The wireless signals from the heart rate sensors are received by an arduino board connected to the musician´s notation laptops via USB.”
