Grayson Cooke "Glitchcock"
“Glitchcock” is a live-mixed audio-visual improvisation, underpinned
by two concepts:
feed-back and back-projection. The project uses back-projection
sequences from
Hitchcock films, which are cut-up and re-mixed live. Concurrently, the
project sets up
an audio-visual feed-back loop, where the audio from the Hitchcock
sequences is
processed and filtered, and is then used to drive visual effects on
the film footage.
Thus, the visual media sequences are “glitched” by their own audio
track.
Bio: Grayson Cooke is an interdisciplinary scholar and digital media
artist who lectures in digital media at the Bundaberg Campus of
Central Queensland University. He is currently a visiting researcher
in the School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies while on
sabbatical.
Johann Nortje and Tammy Thompson
“Luminin”
Visual Music is a collaboration between Johann Nortje and Tammy
Thompson. Johann
Nortje is currently studying his Masters in Digital Media design after
having completed a
degree in Industrial Design at Victoria University. His study is
looking at Intuitive
Interfaces for Live Cinema Performance Instruments and how these can
translate into
Club-VJ environments. Tammy Thompson is a classically trained
musician and wanted
to use this background to create lovely – quiet – visually based art.
Visual Music is a
study on the Syneasthesia between sound and image. The project is
performed with a
Theremin as the interface, and colour art as the product. The Theremin
seemed a
good interface as the data could be captured and assigned to colour
instead of the
sound output it is set up for. These elements are performed
independently as well
as combined for a intricate Audio/Visual Composition.
Morgan Barnard "reflections: UrbanScreens"
"reflections:UrbanScreens" is a remixed documentary project created at
the Melbourne Urban
Screens conference between October 3rd and 8th. Interviews about the
public's relationship
to urban screens and documentary footage of the conference was
gathered in Federation
Square then remixed in a live context to create an ephemeral real-time
documentary for the
transitory urban audience. Live data feeds of contextual information
are displayed as motion
graphic elements and visual collage. "Reflections" redefines the
editorial process of traditional
film and television post-production by creating a work that uses an
improvisational and
temporal approach for content generation. Morgan Barnard is a lecturer
in Digital Media
Design at The Victoria University of Wellington School of Design. He
has worked as a Director, Editor, and New Media Designer in New York
and Los Angeles for the past 10 years. His research includes Live
Cinema, Interaction Design and exploring new ways to engage audiences
in dynamic media experiences.
Naomi Lamb
As Veteran VJ with over ten years of exposure in the New Zealand’s
Dance sub culture, Naomi Lamb took the rare stance of producing all
her own video samples. She has improvised and engaged audiences with
her original style at legendary music and dance festivals such at The
Gathering, Kaikora Roots, Alpine Unity, Destination, Parihaka and
Canaan Downs. Her experimental video art has been exhibited in
Germany, South Korea, Australia and Nationally. Lamb is a master’s
candidate and tutor at Digital Media Design at Victoria University,
where she continues to explore VJing, Live Cinema and new media
practices. She has recently been awarded an artist in residency at
SCANZ, a premier arts and technology symposium, in Takanaki next year._______________________________________________
