Multimedia Experimental Project
This time Human AutomatArt is in Edinburgh from 9 to April the 24th, 10am to 5pm, for the DataSphere exhibition, for Edinburgh Science Festival, at the National Museums of Scotland.
In the present world, every human being has become a living set of data, and potentially a content creator. With Human AutomatArt, we are transforming Aberdeen’s Music Hall into an information collector, gathering data from the human activities occurring there, via movement detection, sound and temperature sensors, whose data are generating the digital painting on the screen. Doing so, the unaware human beings become the autonomous agents whose behaviours create the structure for the generative art program, and the human life and related activities as a whole become the painting artist.
After the first The Autogenerative Secret Music of Plants, this time we make a bucket of oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus ostreatus) play the modular synth and the FM synth Korg OpSIx. They tend to be on one side quite noisier than the plants, but on the other, they are a quite thoughtful type. And they sing melancholic tunes.
We are starting this series of live autogenerative sets on Youtube that will see Audrey The Plant control with her inner bioelectrical movements, through bio-feedback sensors applied to her leaves, the modular synth and the Korg OpSix FM synth.
