Music from nature can be very unpredictable. It is soothing at times, and not so at other times. When observed deeply, an evolving mathematical pattern is evident. Generator creates an evolving algorithm that generates sounds and visuals. Sounds and still images of the space are captured continuously at regular intervals and stored in the system. The receptary of time stamped material is used to determine a historic memory of the space which forms an underlying ancestral layer. This combines with the most recent materials along with a real-time analysis of sound levels to compile the generated ambience. As nature evolves and produces ambience for its surrounding, Generator grows by surveilling its location and generates ambience for the space from the space.

The /dev/null Doll
Running time: continuous / live audio composition / interactive performance installation / place of reflection /

The /dev/null Doll is a site where your excess is articulated and contravened. I look at sensor technologies and the neural system of the body. Place your hand on the heart and whisper into the microphone, this action of covering the heart of the doll triggers a light sensor to record.Images of the /dev/null doll and technology used

The Arch-OS experience represents an evolution in intelligent architecture, interactive art and ubiquitous computing. An ‘Operating System’ for contemporary architecture (Arch-OS, ‘software for buildings’) has been developed to manifest the life of a building and provide artists, engineers and scientists with a unique environment for developing transdisciplinary work and new public art.

combines a rich mix of the physical and virtual by incorporating the technology of ‘smart’ buildings into new dynamic virtual architecture.
