Live Cinema
Digital Cinema Theory & Practice performance, May 2009 Live cinema performance by the "Digital Cinema Theory & Practice" class with Professor Trace Reddell. Students created three 5-8 minutes in the genres of visual music, ambient video, video painting, or sonic visualizer for large-scale projection. The source videos were then remixed live by students working with three projection screens, with audio accompaniment by the professor.
Critical Mashup
Digital Sound Cultures Critical MashupStudents of Professor Trace Reddell's "Digital Sound Cultures" class responded to a dialogue between two generations of electronic and digital sound producers by making short mashups. The resulting audio work highlighted or resolved tensions evident in The Wire magazine's "Advice to/from Clever Children" (Nov. 1995), which pitted the father of electronic music, Karlheinz Stockhausen, against a younger generation of electronica represented by Aphex Twin, Plastikman, Scanner, and Dan Pemberton. The Clever Children album extends this dialogue into additional works by Grandmaster Flash, Brian Eno, Janet Cardiff, Francisco Lopez, Bjork, Christian Marclay, and many more. The Clever Children compilation features tracks by Brad Ginsburg, Andrew Baldwin, Angela Malley, Roxi Carter, Leo Kacenjar, Kanoa James, and Eric Peterson.
Data Visualization
Gaming Energy DMS Student Bryan Corell created this interactive visualization using real-time data from STEAM online multiplayer server. Each different game is represented by a house and the traffic or number of people playing the game determines the amount of smoke. The green-ness of the grass is a relationship between the social good of the game vs the pollution coming out of that particular house. The pollution is connected to the massive amounts of electricity needed to connect all of the players, sometimes for cooperation and learning, but many for virtual killing.

NoiseFold
NoiseFold Live Cinema performance, April 2009Part of the DMS A:D:A:P:T Visiting Artist Series, NoiseFold performed live at Gates Planetarium, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, on April 14, 2009. This "visual music theater" combines artificial life computing and live cinema to explore complex ecological systems, their origins and vulnerabilities in relation to human input and interaction. NoiseFold is Professor David Stout (U of North Texas) and Cory Metcalf, who have performed this work at the Festival Internationale d'Art Video (Casablanca), UNESCO Creative Cities Summit, the New York Electronic Arts Festival, and Interactive Futures (Victoria, BC). The pair received the New Mexico New Visions Award for innovative animation in 2007.
Master's Thesis
IRUS Intercultural Collaborative Art Initiated by DMS Graduate Student Morehshin Allahyari, two teams of artists, one in Tehran and another in Denver assembled under one name: IRUS (Iran - United States). Using the theme of "Dialogue," they collaboratively developed art while also participating in a functional dialogue with each other as artists and individuals.
Augmented Reality
Live Earth DMS student Marcus deThouars created this interactive visualization with Flash and the FLARToolKit. It grabs maps from the Discover.com website and allows you to use simple gestures to navigate the text associated with the map and switch maps and rotate the globe. The augmented reality project allows for a fun way to play with information about Earth.
