ARTIST STATEMENT STUDY 8

This study was another revision of one of my old studies which was called the ‘sound-image manipulator’. The old project was essentially a live webcam feed that was distorted by the loudness of the sound. In this revised version of the study, I wish to explore different alternatives to manipulating an image. I still retained the old manipulation within the feed, whilst adding in a new one that I recently learnt. In order to combine the old and new distortions I used ‘jit.glue’ to use the different manipulations in different parts of the live feed frame.

The aim of the original study was to have fun with the software and show that you could use visuals and audio to interact with your audience. There is no real in depth meaning behind the study, but more to show case some of the potential that exists in world of Max. If the participant begins to wave with his/her arms and make some weird and loud noises, the study has served its purpose.
