Worked in collaboration with Heather Shaw (Vita Motus) and VT Pro Design to turn the 4-story structure into an interactive audio-visual instrument for 200+ attendees to interact with. Official blurb: “Red Bull At Night Presents Heather Shaw’s: The Circuitry of Life – A Journey through the evolution of technology. Futurist designer Heather Shaw and her team will transform a downtown LA rooftop into a larger-than-life multimedia experience, inspired by the exponential growth rate of technology and futurist theories of Ray Kurzweil. An immersive four-story cube, which, through live performances and visual art, will chart the evolution of technology, signifying how the change from analog to digital has impacted human connection.”

In anticipation of the decline of the big data era The Noise Index proposes Horizon: a series of computer-generated works functioning as blueprints towards a monument commemorating the apex of the information era. Horizon welcomes a reflection on the contemporary state of informational hunger, in a time when our perceptive apparatus is deeply mediated by personal computing. Consider the computer as a finely tuned clock, Horizon functions as a microscope amplifying the infinitesimal errors of the systems highest priority threaded timers on the CPU (Central Processing Unit) in order to visually integrate them into its landscape metaphor. Through it’s portrayal of a horizontal stillness, Horizon addresses the possibility of a sense of place within our digitally echoing world. More information here.

Convergence

jhochenbaum — Sun, 19 May 2013 07:04:06 +0000

Convergence is an installation that presents a sonic impression of information saturation, with increased access to information being represented as an increased level of noise. The concept of Convergence was chosen as a metaphor for the implications of data consumption via the Internet. Using a text-to-speech system, real-time trending tweets from Twitter are synthesized into sound, and converged into a central location where the sum of the information may be experienced by an individual. Created in collaboration with Owen Vallis and Jasmin Blasco as part of The Noise Index project. More information here.
