Generative Art Software Installations Kinetoh is an Italy-based group that produces generative artworks. "Kinetoh is a generative-artwork project. Kinetoh's name is born in a random collision between 'kinetic' and 'butoh' , maybe to explain the project's guidelines, but surely because i like this name. A series of software for autonomous generation of high-resolution images. A series of studies about sign, shape and color, according to logical rules in a chaotic system."

MOCA - Visual Music - SEE HEAR NOW An experimental music series investigating the synaesthetic resonance between contemporary music and visual art. Carter Tutti - Chessmachine Skoltz_Kolgen present Flüux:/Terminal Tom Recchion with Jonathon Rosen William Basinski & James Elaine "Tom Recchion takes prerecorded tape loops, keyboards, and effects and turns exotica into the kind of music you'd expect to hear in a tiki bar on a 22nd century space station. His performance is accompanied by live video mixing by New York filmmaker Jonathon Rosen. In an artistic sybiosis reminiscent of Merce Cunningham and John Cage, musician and auteur William Basinski and filmmaker James Elaine have created subtle films and music together for over 20 years, with the seamlessly integrated quality of their work beautifully illustrating the thesis of Visual Music."

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."

Jim Campbell's website documents his projects and installations. The site is framebased hence you will need to browse through the menus to access information in relation to his works and installations. The categories that he has divided his work into are: | Public Art | Installations | Memory Works | Ambiguous Icons (LED Works) | Illuminated Averages | Objects | Duds He provides movie clips to some of his projects. His Illuminated Averages section is fascinating. "Illuminated Averages are a series of images displayed in light boxes in which each image is created by averaging all of the frames of a moving sequence. For example the first one created was an average of all the frames of the film Psycho. In that work almost 2 hours are collapsed to create one single image." His Ambiguous Icons section "explores the relationship between information and meaning, in the context of reduced or compressed levels of information. These works incorporate the fairly new technol...

"Jeremy Blake creates continually looping DVDs with sound to be projected or presented on plasma screens. Blake also makes large digital C-prints, as well as small quasi-narrative drawings and paintings.
