This was a great performance experience. Everyone involved was so inspiring and creative, making it a fun and instructive few days.
I was especially happy to have worked with Martin Slawig, Elke Utermöhlen of the blackhole-factory. The pair came to Sigi Torinus’ Digital Media class to give some lectures/demos on Max/MSP/Jitter and documentation of some of their performances. Especially fitting because I was intending to use Max/MSP/Jitter in the performance Master Control with the NBE in Lambton Tower, Studio A at the University of Windsor, where I am completing my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts.
You can see me seated at the far left. I’m using a patch I made in Max/MSP/Jitter to draw on projections on the screen across to me. This image comes from a live video feed attached to the DV camera that is next to me. I pointed the camera at the musicians, the instruments, etc.
In the picture above, you can see Elke Utermöhlen recording vocals into a Max/MSP/Jitter patch on her laptop. Performing in the background, Patrick Nickleson and Brent Lee.
In the picture above, you can see the small DV camera to the right of Martin Slawig, it’s pointing at the bongos to the right of it; this is being projected onto the walls and I am drawing over it with the mouse on my laptop via Max5 patch.
