Title: L'Esplendor ( )
What: Exploratory and serendipitous approach to information, information and communication technologies (ICT), message and art. Experiri of an interactive architecture.
Keywords: Audio synthesis, video synthesis, real time human interaction, computer vision, artificial vision, data computation and algorithms, human-machine Interfaces, sound-image relationship and synesthesia.
Combinational mindset approach to art and science. Project that generated three evolutive concept prototypes, in which new approaches of human-machine interaction, media synthesis and consumption, and architectonic space were tested. New considerations of the function of art with respect to these subjects were explored.
Built upon a conceptual new function of art, an hypothesis about a potential different approach to seamless generating and interacting with data was tested by experimentation.
On March the 3th of 2004 an interactive architecture was designed and initially developed in Paris. In 2005 the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV) Spain, founded the project and allocated a team of three people specialised in audio, graphics and programming. Different prototypes and research were made with the valuable assistance and financial support in this period.
On May the 17th of 2006, an interactive device to generate real time audio and graphics was presented in the context of TIC Scenarios, Valencia Science Prince Felipe Museum.
On September the 15th 2006 in Girona Spain, it was presented a prototype of a musical instruments that interpreted the performer movements, allowing the enhancement and extension of musical and performing expression by the means of music, graphics and video synthesis.
On April 2007 within the ArtEscapes exhibition, it was presented an image and audio synthesiser in the form of a emissive surface reacting to the performer’s hands movements and generating real time audio and graphics by means of artificial vision and music algorithms.
