{hangzavar, 2011 | cacophony, 2011}

BME TDK, Képzőművészeti Szekció, megosztott 1. hely

készítette: Pongor András, Pongor Soma, Tarcali Dávid

  Ez a hanginstalláció az információ áramlásának a lehetséges problémáit modellezi le. Az emberi félrehallásokra, az információ elévülésére és az ezekből adódó társadalmi problémákra próbál reflektálni. A kivitelezés letisztult és átlátható vonalvezetése, az analóg technika alkalmazása és a bonyolult technika mellőzése mind-mind az installáció kifejezőerejének erősítésére szolgál. 

   A walkmanek bekapcsolása után a szalag elindul. Mindegyik walkman más ponton játssza a szalagon levő hangot, ezáltal - bár a hang ugyanaz -, az összhangzat mégis kaotikus. A leolvasási pontok nem egyenlő távolságra helyezkednek el egymástól. Némelyik walkman hangosabb, másik halkabb lejátszásra képes, ezért az összhangzat nem homogén. A hangszóróhoz közel hajolva jobban kivehető, hogy egy-egy walkman hol tart a lejátszásban.

This sound installation depicts the possible problems of the flow of information. It tries to reflect the human misaudition, the lapse of information and the social problems which derive from these. The design is clear and it has a transparent structure. Using analog technology and ignoring complicated ones are all used to strenghten the expressiveness of installation.

  After turning on the walkman the tape starts to move. Each walkman plays the sound, which is on the tape, in a different point. However, the sound is the same the constants are chaotic. The reading points are not the same distance from each other. Some walkmans are louder while others are quieter so the consonants are not homogeneous. If you bend closer to the walkmans you can easily notice where they are in the course of replay.

Technophone

We live among a lot of technology. The technology emits light or an electromagnetic wave, an electric wave. “techno phone series” are the tools, they can catch these kind of wave as sound. it means listening to technology soundscape.

unnamed soundsculpture

http://www.onformative.com/

The basic idea of the project is built upon the consideration of creating

a moving sculpture from the recorded motion data of a real person. For

our work we asked a dancer to visualize a musical piece (Kreukeltape by

Machinenfabriek) as closely as possible by movements of her body. She was

recorded by three depth cameras (Kinect), in which the intersection of the

images was later put together to a three-dimensional volume (3d point cloud),

so we were able to use the collected data throughout the further process.

The three-dimensional image allowed us a completely free handling of the

digital camera, without limitations of the perspective. The camera also reacts

to the sound and supports the physical imitation of the musical piece by the

performer. She moves to a noise field, where a simple modification of the

random seed can consistently create new versions of the video, each offering

a different composition of the recorded performance. The multi-dimensionality

of the sound sculpture is already contained in every movement of the dancer,

as the camera footage allows any imaginable perspective.

Robot Quadrotors Perform james Bond Theme

by the university of Pennsylvania

These flying quadrotors are completely autonomous, meaning humans are not controlling them; rather they are controlled by a computer programed with instructions to play the instruments.

Penn’s School of Engineering and Applied Science is home to some of the most innovative robotics research on the planet, much of it coming out of the General Robotics, Automation, Sensing and Perception (GRASP) Lab.
