Sha Xin Wei will show examples of gestural media: using free gesture and whole-body movement to continuously shape video and sound, bringing people together in physical play-spaces, free of screens and keyboards. Studio conditions permitting, we’ll offer students a chance to try some gestural media instruments from Synthesis. For example the delaysequencer takes a sound and streams out up to 16 delayed and modulated copies of it to make thicker streams and rhythms to your design. The videosounder maps activity in portions of a video to sound so you can match a “soundscape” to what a camera can detect as movement.
