Ix-.-.hel

ix-.-.hel creates a visual and audio link between three communication methods: hands, Morse code, and cell phone messages. The audience is an active participant in the result of the work, by being asked to resend the last text message in their cell phone. The text is used to produce visual and sound events, becoming rhythmic when translated into Morse code. The visual content is generated from human hands images provided by the audience. The installation is dedicated to Ixhcel Solis, the artist's sister, deaf since birth. For both, hand language has been an important communication medium. The cell phone messages have become not only a practical way of communication, but the most common way to send instant emotions at a distance. This work was selected in the TRANSITIO_MX International Video and Electronic Arts Festival from Mexico City. You can see the description at TRANSITIO_MX --> festival 05 --> contest --> selected works.

Improvisatory Music and Painting Interface

Date: 
2004-07-01

The Improvisatory Music and Painting Interface (IMPI) is a piece of software for the creation and guidance of audiovisual improvisations. By drawing into a digital tablet using a defined syntax, a conductor generates in real time both the music displayed in several formats on computer screens for the musicians, and dynamic graphics projected on the stage in synchronicity with the music. The kind of musical style this system is intended for is non-tonal, non-rhythmic, and texture-oriented, which means that strong emphasis is put on the control of timbral qualities and continuum transitions. One of the main goals of the system is the translation of planned compositional elements such as precise structure and synchronization between instruments into the improvisatory domain. The graphics that IMPI generates are organic, fluid, vivid, dynamic, and unified with the music.
