From April 18 till 23 we reworked the manual we created for the festival Le Souffle de l’Equinoxe in Poitiers. We had a look at the scores again [r – read], changed ‘beeldverhaal’ and ‘body_area’ [w – write] and really enjoyed playing them [x – execute].

During our research we started looking for a ‘real’ surveillance image. We had the chance to be able to connect our computer to the surveillance camera in the matrix room of De Pianofabriek and… Eureka! We discovered objscrs works fine with that camera! For all kind of different reasons we could not start working with it immediately. Therefore we only took screenshots. Being able to work ‘in-situ’ opened great perspectives.

Have a look at the full animation here.

And it made us feel a little bit drunk… so much we forgot to archive the moment!

Loco Aid Peeks?

Comments Off

A lot of stages lead to different experiments in trying to ‘translate’ the manual.
The idea is to give a short presentation (10 min) and give the audience the possibility to explore the space. We decided it will be more a ‘peeking’ into the possibilities of this universe, rather than trying to explain every single detail.
First thing we did was building our small catalogue with basic options.

– on/off buttons by positioning a body
– precise locations/sizes of img/txt/vid
– move an image/txt around
– ffwd or slowing down a video/sound or changing volume by speeding up your steps (with an outside play button :-))
– extending an image/txt by enlarging your body_area
– raising volume through body mass
– sending to & receiving numbers from PD

Cool Aid Peeks?

Working title of this game was ‘The Game of Games’ or ‘Le Jeu des Jeux’.
The choice of names is limitless. We hesitated between two.
