I am participating as part of BOS. I will have a new installation – or a very heavily modified (and completely rreprogrammed) version of a previous installation if you want to look at it that way. I will also be showing some photography, my commercial motion graphics work and some (new to anyone in nyc, but quickly starting to feel very old looking at the date) live a/v recordings and vj material.

This is a evolution of a previous installation i did using 2 laptops & 2 copies of gridpro – using it’s video analysis to control the delay of the live feed. the initial idea being, that there is a projection presented as a live video feed but the more you move the less real time the image is.

I built this using quartz composer so it could be turned into a fx plug for vdmx – or more likely making an fx plug from the image analysis part of it. theres some math interpolation i would like to try to see if i could get to be exponential not linear, but otherwise feels done. if i were to have it installed longer than a day, it would be nice to make it a more presentable as well.

The processing take live video feed. I used vade’s optical flow plug into detect motion (looks like the key to my use is the diffrencing of the new/old image. I do an over all average of the optical flow patch and feed it to a imgpixel to get a luminance value. this value controls a video dely and cross faded between the live image and delayed/frozen image. It also controls the vol, temp and pitch of a synthesizer instrument in garage band via midi.
