Stop Eject

"Depardon's travel journal–a long-distance imaginary dialogue with Paul Virilio–brings us to the second part of the exhibition Native Land, curated by Virilio, and designed by American artists and architects, Diller Scofidio + Renfro, in collaboration with Mark Hansen, Laura Kurgan, and Ben Rubin."

I worked with the Diller Scofidio + Renfro team making the 360 degree, 3m high video that is part of this opening. I created all the sounds for the movies using Pd, Audacity, and Freesound for the samples. The videos were all generated using Processing. The whole system is run by the ZKM PanoramaScreen running on Ubuntu. The videos are 6800x760 @ 30FPS and the audio is 6 channels plus 2 channels of subwoofers.

So all in all, this project is a showcase for free tools, even though none of the 'higher ups' had any idea or intention for it to be that. Unfortunately, I won't be able to make the opening, so go see it and tell me how it is! Hopefully it'll come to NYC so I can see it in person.
