dorkbot: people doing strange things with electricity

Alber Hwang: The Wiremap
The Wiremap is a design that uses an LCD projector and a custom surface to make real and interactive 3d images. The images rendered exist in the same spatial dimension as our bodies do, bridging the gap between digital 3d and analogue 3d. With this project, I hope to redefine how we encounter digital 3d. Instead of a collection of weightless polygons, digital 3d can engage with our bodies and our intuitive spatial instincts in a visceral and tangibly real way.

Cameron Browning: Electrosketch
Electrosketch is an interactive art installation that uses a number of technological hacks to allow users to scribble paths onto the walls of their environment in real-time. During the short period of time the images are recorded, other users have the opportunity to use digital controls connected to the installation to manipulate the paths in 3D.

Antoinette La Farge
on DEMOTIC

Artist-writer Antoinette LaFarge will talk about DEMOTIC, a performance work presented at the Baltimore Teater Project on Nov 2-5. Demotic was conceived by LaFarge, directed by Robert Allen and features sound artists Maria de los Angeles Esteves and Jeff Ridenour and actor Tracey A. Leigh. DEMOTIC begins with the idea that the Internet is now so central to American life that it has become our new town hall, an ever-changing space of informed debate, passionate opinion, and misinformation. Like the Internet, Demotic is a rolling improvisation among the different kinds of performers using such technologies as text-to-speech synthesis, chatroom-type forums, and sound mashups. One of the central controlling devices of Demotic is a virtual world hosted on the West Coast whose avatars direct the progress of the piece at various points.
