Generative Art Software Installations Kinetoh is an Italy-based group that produces generative artworks. "Kinetoh is a generative-artwork project.

His performance is accompanied by live video mixing by New York filmmaker Jonathon Rosen.

Visual Music - Exhibition Moca "Featuring masterpieces of modern and contemporary art, Visual Music offers for the first time in the United States a chronological exhibition of the relationship between abstraction, color, and music forms as varied as classical, jazz, rock, and electronic... Rather than following a traditional progression of movements and styles, this exhibition presents successive explorations of the idea of synaesthesia. Artists from all over the world are inspired by the concept of synaesthesia, the experience of one sense evoking another, in this case exploring the union of the aural and visual senses. Visual Music explores this concept’s remarkable cross-pollination across time and medium and reveals how the multimedia installations produced today realize ambitions expressed by paintings made almost 100 years ago. Over 80 works, including important examples never before seen in the U.S., by over 40 internationally recognized artists of abstract painting, exper...

Jennifer SteinKamp - Visual Music Installation Jennifer Steinkamp is an installation artist who works with video and new media in order to explore ideas about architectural space, motion, and phenomenological perception. [website: http://jsteinkamp.com/ ] Jennifer SteinKamp - Loop "Recent explorations employing digital media and installation represent a fulfillment of the tradition while suggesting new directions for visual music. Using multiple video projections and amplified sound, Jennifer Steinkamp (b. 1958) constructed a space where the viewer is immersed in an environment of lights, color, form, and movement synchronized to a sound composition by Bryan Brown. In her work SWELL (1995), three projectors present digital animations of glowing colored starburst forms, creating the impression of an infinite space in which light spirals out towards the viewer and spins back into the void."
