Vimeo Video Channels

There are some really interesting vimeo channels showcasing contemporary work in the audio visual field. These channels are a great opportunity to see what is going on with audio visual work/art/music today. They also demonstrate how many different fields that audio visual works are taking place in - such as in installation settings, as interfaces, in gallery spaces, as films and animations led by music collaborations and music label collaborations - there are just so many ways now in which audio and visual are being put together...I like to still call all these approaches visual music.

Geomtrical formes morphing into lines as they age. Cross-media explorations.
"Movement, shapes & colors are AS2 (flash) generated, some parameters are controlled by mouse-gestures.
The video itself is a compilation of several screen captures, taken while rendering. Audio was added afterwards."

The freshness of the colours against the muted background is really quite beautiful. This piece in particular creates wonderful matches with music activity. (Author comment)

Dancing with Mathematica

DANCING WITH MATHEMATICA - PART OF THE CAMBRIDGE SCIENCE FESTIVAL

Music, generated in Mathematica, by composer Katarina Miljkovic; chereograhy by Dawn Kramer; video projections by Stephen Buck; performance by Dawn Kramer and Brian McCook.

Event at Cambridge Science Festival - Boston US

Dancing with Mathematica - The Broad Institute, 7 Cambridge Center - 26th April 2009

Dancing with Mathematica is a journey through complexity in movement, bady projection and sound. Music and choreography are structured on four classes of complexity, proposed by Stephen Wolfram A New Kind of Science.

While music develops by evolution of cellular automata, from simple to universally complex, choreography reflects on the nature of choice, questions the concept of self as a dolid, separate reality and looks at the body in relation to self, gener, transgender and aging.

The program is live performance of two pieces including movement, electronic sound and video. Music, generated in Mathematica, by composer Katarina Miljkovic; chereograhy by Dawn Kramer; video projections by Stephen Buck; performance by Dawn Kramer and Brian McCook.
