Host
David Dobkin
Vibeke Sorensen will be showing and discussing her work in computer art
and animation, focusing on her recent interactive and collaborative
work. This includes stereoscopic animation and software, as well as
interactive web based work including "MindShipMind". The latter is in
collaboration with Austrian composer Karlheinz Essl and based on the writing
of 30 artists and scientists participating in a 3 week seminar called
"Order, Complexity, and Beauty," at the MindShip in Copenhagen, Denmark in
l996. She will also discuss her "Global Visual Music" project in
collaboration with University of California, San Diego Music Department
Professor Miller Puckette (Mathematician and Computer Scientist) and
Rand Steiger (Composer). They are developing a new multi-media programming
language which allows users to combine 2 and 3-D computer graphics
and animation, digital video, and computer sound and music for
real-time, improvised multi-media performance.
Finally, she will review her "New Display Technology for Computer Art" project
in which she is working with USC Chemistry professor Dr. Mark Thompson on
the development of new, light emitting displays for still and moving images.
