Retroscreened...

Currently in Vienna for the Sound:Frame festival. I am writing this post from the temporary lounge with free wifi located near the entrance to the exhibition hall in the majestic Kunsterhaus. A very robust and broad exhibit. I also took in a very interesting a/v performance that I will report on in the next post.

The video above was sent to Boris from Sonom. He provided a quick description for us: "made mostly with Modul8 generators, and later manipulated in Motion and Final Cut, and then retroscreened over fog semitransparent textiles."

A lot of interesting things to think about. Firstly the use of modul8 as a 'generative' program. When we think of generative we tend to think of complicated coding. Not often discussed is the ability in modul8 to create visuals without any media at all. I usually emphasize this very heavily in my workshops and look forward to providing some in depth tips on this in a future post. Secondly is how modul8 is being used as part of a work flow and lastly this completely new word for me 'retroscreened.' This relates to another future post I have in the pipe in regards to how the ease of use of modul8 allows for creatives to think out of the box and consequently come up with new words for things. We'll see if this one sticks.
