Documentation of
Early Installation Work by Jamy Sheridan
| Each of the works documented here consists
of two major components. The visual component is a real-time computer animation projected
onto a bed of white sand on the floor in a visually and acoustically isolated space. The
audio component, which was generated in real-time but is usually presented on a CD, is
synthesized music created by John Dunn and driven by
DNA and protein data. In each work, the audio and visual components relate to each
other structurally and conceptually. The Garden of Initial Conditions is
‘written’ in Wonk, a real-time, direct manipulation performance language
for artists. Wonk was designed by John Dunn with Jamy Sheridan. All the works
shown here were created using software written by John Dunn. The still images shown
here are time exposures taken at various intervals with the animation paused. |
