Latest generative audiovisual experiment by Lanvideosource. Video patch extracts and compares words taken from three news websites (italian, european and global). Structure created interacts in real-time with audio frequencies and is partially sequenced. Video patch sends back triggers to audio section generating audio-video interaction feedbacks. Words extracted and decontextualized are constantly remixed in the patch, obtaining new meanings or creating a kind of subliminal messages. Everytime the patch is run, structures, camera movement or the news-of-the-day change, making it in part unpredictable.
Video is entirely made in VVVV. Patch is rendered off-line, no post cuts. Only motion blur is applied in post processing.
Audio is made in Reaktor5 and sequenced in cubase.

Little about process:
Patch is based on Lsystem and Curvesimple. Words are extracted in realtime by decoding rss feeds of news websites then the text is decomposed and separated according to words frequency.
The synthesized part of sound is created in Reaktor5. Audio samples are added in cubase. Midi tracks are recorded in Cubase, sent to VVVV (for sequencing and global synchronization) and played by Reaktor. Within VVVV, separated tracks containing individual audio layers are played. Three bands of frequency are analyzed then audio triggers control form, camera, light and other parameters..
VVVV modulates back by midi some parameters of audio as volume or position of sounds.
Sequencing was necessary for plaing and recording the patch not in real time. Frames recorded in HD format was then composed in a video file.
It's more simple than it seems.

    Would have been cooler to have some random words as targets for the lookat...but nice indeed, especially colors and the flower shape created by lines at the end ;)

    Hey, this is cool man. What if you had random typefaces on the words as well? Or maybe I'm just talking out of my a#" :)

    Good stuff!
  • Lanvideosource 2 years ago
    I didn't understood. Do you mean different fonts for words? Could be a nice idea but I should use different shaders as well. This could degrade significantly the machine performance..

    :) yep real nice

    You might be interested in a French Research semantic tool available here at
    cnrtl.fr/portailindex/PROX//T/960

    try a word [as meaning transparent as 'telescope'] will launch this incredible applet + 3D display of lexical links. Enjoy!

    This would make a great installation piece. Very beautiful.

  • Lanvideosource 1 year ago
    tnx, yes, I'd like to create an interactive audiovisual installation from this idea.

    Great idea - this is taking video into a meta-world of unexplored territory, and looking at the galaxy of words in totally new way...
