Terrain 29
One night, when offhandedly spinning my friend's rotating paper globe, I felt a calling to upgrade this obsolete office item into a real-time A/V controller. While developing the code, I began video recording distinct moments in my life that I could trigger with the gyroscope and accelerometer data.
Inspired by the PC game MYST, I framed environments from a first-person perspective to transport the viewer into the scene and allow them to follow my grief, contemplation, and joy. Using the audio collected from each scene, I created a patch in Max MSP to chop, diverge, and overlap the moments into a sonic experience. When the globe spins, the audio and video briefly decouple and then converge when stopped.
