The new digital labyrinths by Stanza. Interactive audio visual digital paintings and drawings for the internet.
AMORPHOSCAPES moves away from "linear" pieces into a more non linear and interactive experience giving the audience some control over the artwork. AMORPHOSCAPES allows you to experience different artworks depending on how you choose to navigate. As well as this non linearity, some of the pieces change over time. Evolving pieces exist, that the "user" has to control of and makes them work by movement., The user also can input changes of sound and picture. This change in the relationship between the audience and the artist changes our perception of the artwork. It is this concept of the individual functioning simultaneously as 'producer and consumer' that underpins the nature of AMORPHISMS. The user can choose what they experience. Amorphoscapes are audio visual generative digital paintings. In the future to be projected, onto buildings on clothes and on cars . They incorporate user defined areas. Users can control the sounds and pictures and change their amorphoscapes when they get bored with them. Or watch them change themselves, on your plasma canvas wall.
They are audio visual paintings, and can be installed into 'real' environments, were the movement of people in the room or gallery triggers the interactivity within the work.
Journeys and experiments in audio visual sensual pleasure.
The works in the amorphoscapes series include.
1. generator.......As reviewed on ITV in the web review. An environment with sounds that can be selected that allow images to be altered.
2. matrixcity.........two versions. A sort of beautiful industrial drawing environment.
3. landscapes... There are 12 pieces in the series with multiple sounds, all mouse controlled. An invisible menu appears on the left of your screen for navigation, move the mouse under this.
4.univercity...... "my universe is expanding".. with generative sound mixer built into the piece, click on the small squares to change the sounds. Just sit back and watch. The sounds evolve over time and change pitch.
5.hybrid.... digital paintings and drawings installation featured here. They move when you move. If you go left they go left. Completly immersive colour environment online.
6.traces......digital paintings and drawing installation. You can change the marks and make your own textures.
7.biomorphs.... mutating cells that self generate with generative sound control
7.soundscraper ...... series of six multi sound environments. Lots of built in sounds and layers.
Most of these works have extensive mouse control. EG. As the user moves the light and the image / lighting changes) Make sure you let each work download. Some of these pieces could have been made smaller in file size but I decided to put more sounds in at the expense of this ...er sorry about that if your on a slow modem.
