"Engineer in the Arts" Frieder Weiss is known for developing unique software that allows to create powerful visual experiences on stage and in film. The latest example of application in film - Kylie Minogue's video clip "Get Outta of My Way".
The workshop gives a practical introduction into artistic uses of video motion sensing technologies. The workshop will introduce Eyecon and Kalypso software. Eyecon links physical movement spaces with computer generated sound environments. Kalypso software allows visual effects based on body outlines. In the workshop participants will be able to understand and learn the basics of the software, set up a customized interactive environment and get a chance to move and try out the experience. Experienced computer users are invited to attach systems which they are using: we will be able to interface to systems like MaxMsp, Flash, Isadora etc. A discussion about artistic implications and results will round up the workshop.
