Jeffrey Shaw - ConFIGURING the CAVE

"ConFIGURING the CAVE is constituted by seven differentiated pictorial domains. Movement of the puppets body and limbs dynamically modulate various parameters in the image and sound generating software, while particular postures of the puppet cause specific visual events to occur. Most significantly it is the action of moving the puppet's hands to cover and then uncover its eyes, which causes the transitions from one pictorial domain to the next."

Jeffrey Shaw Documentation

Jeffrey Shaw - Infinity Divided by Sixteen 1987

"A finely perforated projection screen was visibly divided into sixteen sections. Behind each section was a speaker connected to its own amplifier and tape deck. Sixteen sound tracks were composed and recorded by Harry de Wit for this work. Each sound track was assigned to a specific position on the screen, and the volume of each of these sixteen spatially located sound tracks was modulated by a continual analysis of the changing light intensity of the images being projected onto that part of the screen." source text from documentation of the work on his website
