I’m not exactly sure what I want to do for my final project, but I would love to work with music. I really liked the presentations on Rob Clouth and Casey Reas, and I think it would be really cool to do some kind of music video/coding combination, where the code will interact with the music and create some kind of visualization on the screen. I’m not sure what form the visualization will take on; it could be similar to Clouth where he’d make shapes and designs on screen, or similar to Reas where he alters the video footage itself, or even both. My other worry is that I possibly also want some kind of interactivity on the audience’s part instead of them just watching the screen. I think this interactivity will add another dimension to the piece, as it’s very easy to walk past/click away from a video with visualizations otherwise. Maybe the audience will make the music?
