Electron Drawing – Visual Music (2017)

Electron Drawing – Visual Music was installed at Light City as a public art commission on the Art Walk. The piece employed analog modular synthesis sound which simultaneously produced live vector graphic video that was captured by a HD camera fed directly to a 12’ by 9’ LED jumbotron wall. Audience members shaped the sound and the drawings through two motion infrared motion sensors, and these were inset into two custom lasercut boxes produced by the artist.
