Multimedia Projects

Why?

Here at revolver, we are interested in the contribution that digital media can make to cultural life in Ireland.

Our motion based pieces have been presented at Project Brand New in Dublin's Project Arts Centre and in the Science Gallery at Trinity College.

These interactive pieces were developed using C++ and the OpenFrameworks libraries. We have also worked with Processing and with Arduino microprocessors to build sesnor based systems.

We have ambitious plans to continue with this type of work during 2009. If you are an artist, or a social or community worker and are interested in collaborating with us, please get in touch.

Calle O'Reilly at Project Brand New

Afro-Cuban mask Five percussionists, a bass player and two vocalists performed the Afro-Cuban song “Compa Galletano” over a Guaguancó rumba rhythm.

Two digital media artists and one programmer used electronic sensors and motion-tracking techniques to drive a live video performance which took the audience on a unique journey to the roots of Afro-Cuban music.

The performance took place on Thursday April 29th 2010 as part of Project Brand New 5 in the Project Arts Centre in Dublin's Temple Bar.

Motion Tracking in Trinity College's Samuel Beckett Theatre

TCD Snapshot On Tuesday April 31st 2009, we presented a motion tracking experiment in Trinity College's Samuel Beckett Theatre. The occasion was a technology jamming session hosted by Trinity College and SMARTlab. Our role was to track dancers movements with digital cameras and generate real time video for projection onto the dancers costumes and the projection screen. Here are some of the images:

Historicity Kybernetes In collaboration with artist Néill O’Dwyer, we presented the project Historicity Kybernetes at Project Brand New in the Project Arts Centre in Temple Bar.

Using Java, C++, Processing, the OpenFrameworks libraries and a firewire camera suspended above the stage, the movement of the performers was recorded and transformed into abstract images.

test In September 2008, we completed a colloborative project for the M.Sc Multimedia Systems Exhibition in the Science Gallery at Trinity College, Dublin.

The multimedia installation was built using a motion sensing camera, and an application written using C++ and the OpenFrameworks library.

Visitors to the show exhibition were able to use their movement in the space to watch and listen to a series of video stories about life in the city of Dublin.
