Julean A. Simon,
Mixnitz/Wien und Berlin, D live in der Ringvorlesung "Medienproduktion im
Wandel" am Mittwoch, 7.11.2007, 17:00 s.t. bis 18:30
Der digitale Instrumentalist - Mixed Media zwischen Hörkunst und Informatik - Live Performance und ausgewählte akademische Geistesblitze - Was zeigt das Bild dem Ton - Zur Audio-visuellen Kopplung
Abstract
Das Verhältnis zwischen Ton und Bild ist ein altes und doch aktuelles Thema in der Medienpraxis und -theorie. Neue interaktive Techniken legen es nahe, die Möglichkeiten und Effekte der Kopplung immer wieder erneut zu untersuchen. Insbesondere die Dynamik von visuellem Feedback in der freien Improvisation oder wechselseitige Rückkopplung in Musik-Tanz Interaktion möchte ich anhand von Ausschnitten aus eigenen Musik-Videoarbeiten, Installationen und Computerprogrammen illustrieren
