Here’s a couple of pieces based on the prison journals of Stephen Dubov.

A piece I created with a friend of mine Scott Pagano.
Here’s some documentation Scott made is available on his site (see his Projects section).
Postcard is a piece for chair and computer generated image and sound. Video images come from Wells, the place where I bought the chair and am currently living. The sound is largely synthesized, using techniques such as chaos, and comb-filtered noise. Playing the chair controls the video and sound. This is done by feeding live video of the chair via Firewire into SoftVNS for analysis. SoftVNS allows the definition of regions according to a mask. In this case the regions and mask are defined by a drawing of the parts of the chair.

This is a collaboration with the choreographer Adele Levi. It was performed by dancers Maria Ramos, Clive Andrews, and Katherine Nietrzebka, and musician John O’Hara. The development of motion-tracking techniques in SoftVNS was supported by a grant by the Arts and Humanities Research Board (AHRB).
