synesthesia
1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.

Installation. May 2005
I had a microphone feed into the computer and audio from the room changed the display. I displayed a circle related to the voice of the room (pitch relates to size, and volume relates to color). As the viewer/participant speaks or sings or yells they see their voice transformed into colorful movements of varying size. The louder the sound- the colors of these forms brightened. In the background I had a sweeping cascade of colored lines. These would take control if there was no noise in the space.
I plan on making the display available online using personal mics from viewers computers to animate it. Ideally I would want multiple users to be able to log on and effect the animation collectively. Each input will generate shapes.

Here is a captured video feed.

Rhinoceros Makes Art: Students in Michael Oliveri’s Computer Aided Design and Fabrication class at UGA are exhibiting their work in the Thomas Street Gallery. Using the computer program Rhinoceros, the students have created a diverse set of images.J.B. Courson ‘s “Alpha Hab and Worker Drones” could be plans for the set of a Star Wars movie. Caroline Covington’s “Closure” re-invents the kamikaze bomb, with essential accompanying text. Diana Gurley’s circular imagery hovers on the page like hot-air balloons. Matthew McDonald’s “Lupa Ad Nauseam,” as the Latin title states, is an image of a wolf vomiting. The drawing of the wolf appears to be taken from a realistically executed etching, while the vomit is discretely portrayed as a splatter of color. Edward Whelan’s abstract geometric piece looks back to the Italian Futurists, with a fresh new design. Evan Mullins and Louis Grabowski have both created images of realistic-looking objects of play. Works by Andy Anzardo, Alex Castellanos, Jason Maddox, Chris Merz, Winston Parker and John Powers are also included in the show, which runs through Apr. 5, so hurry! The Thomas Street Gallery is located in UGA’s Sculpture Annex just off Broad Street.

Video Art piece, I tried to capture that brief moment your mind unclouds and becomes clear. When you are confused or unclear and that instant it all comes together. The music is the Hallelujah chorus played at about quarter speed. It is oil and water in container separating one from another.
