Professors
Jessica
Thompson
and
Jane
Tingley
will
be
presenting
interactive
artworks
at
the
International
Symposium
on
Electronic
Art,
ISEA2014
in
Dubai,
United
Arab
Emirates.
The
overarching
theme
of
ISEA2014—Location—
weaves
local
UAE
tradition
and
history
into
the
global
context
of
new
media
science,
art,
and
technology.
Jessica
Thompson
will
present
Triangulation
Device,
a
participatory
sound
piece
that
generates
improvised
soundscapes
using
the
movement
of
the
body
as
a
compositional
device.
The
piece
is
performed
simultaneously
between
two
participants.
Each
participant
is
paired
with
a
device,
which
transcodes
its
location
to
the
other
in
real-time,
generating
sound
through
the
body
and
creating
atmospheric
soundscapes
that
unfold
and
change
in
response
to
their
movement
and
proximity.
By
broadcasting
sound
into
space
through
collaborative
noisemaking,
the
project
facilitates
new
and
novel
forms
of
sonic
interaction
that
investigate
how
mobile
technologies
affect
our
understanding
of
place,
home
and
territory.

Jane

will
present
Re-Collect,
a
responsive
installation
that
uses
sculptural
objects,
live
recordings
and
playback,
to
draw
attention
to
the
visitors’
physical
presence
and
movement
within
the
installation
space.
The
overall
interactive
experience
is
nuanced
with
light
fluctuations
and
sound
cues.
Visitor
triggers
sounds
recordings,
ambient
light
fluctuations
and
an
evolving
sound
composition
that
is
played
back
through
the
sculptural
elements
when
moving
throughout
the
room.
The
playback
consists
of
a
mixture
of
live
and
past
sound
recordings
that
together
reveal
the
recorded
memory
of
past
visitors
and
exhibition
locations.
The
sonic
and
visual
spatialization
of
sound
and
light
amplify
the
viewing
experience
and
direct
attention
to
the
viewer’s
entanglement
within
the
sculptural
body
and
the
fact
that
the
space
too
carries
with
it
a
history.
