Ship in a bottle

Referencing Bristol’s history of glass making, dating back to the 17th century when large ships exported bottles out of the city harbour, ‘Ship in a bottle’ was developed for BV Open Studios in Nov 2010. The work uses a ‘Pepper’s ghost’, a technique originally adopted by 1860′s stage show illusionists, and consists of a viewing box containing a bottle housing a ghostly 3D white ship that drifts endlessly on a stormy sea. More images and video here.

Fish-eye-I

Deborah Robinson enters the hidden world of the aquatic lab. The University’s Department of Biology and Biochemistry, one of the UK’s premier bioscience centres, houses a fish facility with 500 tanks and 10,000 fish. Here transparent medaka and zebrafish are used as biomedical models for research into human development and disease. Intrigued by the relationship between the scientist as observer and the observed living organism, Robinson constructs a ‘fish-eye view’ with film and sound equipment positioned within the tanks. Catching glimpses of researchers going about their daily work, she takes a fresh look at the ‘I’ who is the scientist. Robinson captures the strange poetic beauty of this see-through world – from fish, water and tank to the lens of the camera itself.

LED Zeppelins II

‘LED Zeppelins II – Space Synth’ is a generated soundscape mixer that uses computer vision (colour tracking) to track the x,y and z coordinates of up to three objects – in this case helium filled balloons – moving in 3D space from two live camera inputs.

Each tracked balloon can be attributed up to three looped sound file segments that can be altered and mixed on-the-fly. The tracked balloons y coordinate alters the speed of playback of the mix of sound clips which is automatically graduated over a musical scale, but the user is given control over the range of each of the these three separate scales to allow a wider spectrum of sounds. At the same time, the x, y and z coordinate data adjusts the amplitude of each mix as it is routed to each speaker in an 8-channel setup – as each balloon moves around in the 3D space its individual complex mix of sounds targets its spacial location which is experienced in comparison to that of the other balloons.

The viewer engages in the project by controlling the input/mixing of the audio clips and moving the balloons around in the space whilst listening to the 8-channel playback and viewing the tracking of the balloons via output monitors built into the synth.
