Sensing/Sending

Custom hardware and software created for this performance at Rhizome. Motors and lights are controlled by MIDI patterns sent from Ableton Live. Light sensors mounted on the homemade screen send MIDI data back to Ableton, which triggers sounds.

Custom hardware: four flashlight units on wooden stands with motors, wires, and shadow-casting arms in front of a screen Projected shadows and light sensor dots on the homemade screen Shadow of the performer cast across the screen during performance Three flashlight units wired to a microcontroller during assembly Two flashlight assemblies with motors and light sensors on a table Overhead view of wired flashlight assemblies and microcontroller Two flashlight units mounted to motors with shadow-casting paddles on stands

Full recording available on Bandcamp.
