Steps are a > prominent feature of these buildings and are used as the spatial context for > the piece. > > After visitors of TRyPTiCHON are settled in the Kiasma, the roaming performer > (Gavin) leaves on a journey, during which he writes texts in one of three > modes: internal space (my world), shared space (our world), external space > (their world). These modes could also be described in terms of verb > conjugation as 1st person, 2nd person, 3rd person. > > The roamer's written messages are tagged with positional data (latitude and > longitude as reported by GPS) and sent to the control desk at Kiasma, where > the data is visualised and sonified in an intimate surround-AV environment. > Meanwhile, a dancer interprets and narrates the three modes of physical and > emotional space through her movement. > > The live data feed from the roamer is juxtaposed with archived data from other > walks in the same neighbourhood, performed over the PixelAche week by other > roamers. > > From the epicentre within the projection tent, the audience experiences their > physical and social environment in multiple layers fed by the roamer and > dancer conduits. > > ===TECHNOLOGY=== > > Our setup consists of a GPRS-enabled PDA, a GPS unit, G4 laptops running Max, > a PA and projectors. > > TRyPTiCHON uses a custom programmed server which receives TCP messages from > the GPS-enabled handheld device via GPRS and translates them into the OSC > (Open Sound Control) protocol, a protocol that can be understood by > applications such as MAX/MSP/Jitter and Supercollider. > The TRyPTiCHON server translates the following data from the GPS units into > OSC: > * UserID: to distinguish the roamers > * PerformanceMode: each roamer sees the neighbourhood from three different > perspectives (modes), writes at various locations, and tags the text with the > mode being used. > * Longitude & Latitude: The position of the performer > * Speed: Speed of the performer > * Course over Ground: Bearing that the performer is moving on > (The last three items of data are parsed out of standard GPS sentences sent by > the GPS unit via the PDA to the server). > > ===more info at=== > > http://www.ambientTV.NET/telejam/3/ > http://www.pixelACHE.ac/ > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > ambientTV.NET is a crucible for independent, interdisciplinary projects > ranging in form from installation through documentary, dance, and theatre, to > sound and video composition and live manipulation. ambientTV.NET develops > social and technical infrastructure and promotes network architectures that > allow explorations of alternatives to current socio-political and economic > practice.
