Why We Live Together



2016

Interactive Dance and Audiovisual Perfomance Concept, Director Cultural Center of Ioannina, “V.Pirsinellas” Hall Ioannina, Greece “Why We Live Together” is an interactive audiovisual dance ‘construction’, a spectacle that transforms the body movement, the sound -electronic and natural instruments-, and the narrations to an audiovisual spectacle. The subject is based on ‘Symbiotic Relations’ of species according to Biology. Biology, proposes that inside the living arrangement each specie can win (benefit), lose (damage), or remain neutral. This proposal acts as a protocol to investigate the relations between arts. Poetry, narration, sound, dance, visuals, and programmable environmens they are experiencing a continuos collaboration in order to develop a polyphonic environment, delivering an innovative spectacle to the audience. The play performed at Cultural Center of Ioannina on November 5th.

Mimicry I



2016

Cultural Center of Ioannina Job Description: Concept, Director Cultural Center of Ioannina Ioannina, Greece Mimicry “in evolutionary biology, is a similarity of one organism, usually an animal, to another that has evolved because the resemblance is selectively favoured by the behaviour of a shared signal receiver that can respond to both”. For the performance the first part of Mimicry meets the sound on an archetypal state. The percussion instruments were the first acousmatic instrument where the humans started to experimented with rythm and expression.

We aim to study the physical exploration of concepts and systems by moving within and acting upon an environment. The testbed for such explorations is Polymechanon, an interactive educational gaming centre where visitors can have full-body collaborative experiences during their visit. Visitors interact with virtual and real objects (e.g. joysticks and push buttons) through which they need to accomplish specific goals to win a game. Vimeo video: https://vimeo.com/122189702

Curator: Kalfopoulos A. State Museum of Contemporary Art Biennial 1, Thessaloniki, Greece This audio-visual interactive installation was developed for the Heterotopias / Other Places exhibition at the Oldice Chambers of Thessaloniki Harbour in 2007. Other Places exhibition was a parallel event of Thessaloniki Biennial 1.The “Brothel” was the selected heterotopia for this installation. The participant using a torch was trying to recover the lost memory of an erotic experience. Hidden faces of the same female person emerged during the light search. Hidden audio samples were activated creating an audio environment. The sounds were based on the light position of the torch giving the chance to the user to create a private and personal memory experience of the audio environment.

Invis-O-vision

 

2002

In collaboration with: A. Milmoe, R. Kumra, C. Holoubek Tisch School of the Arts, NYU New York, USA Invis-O-Vision consists of a system of full-color projected presentations that would appear on flat surfaces above works of art. Without the specially designed glasses, the visitor would see only a faint patch of light alerting him that additional content is available. (or Without the specially designed glasses, the visitor would see nothing.) The user would wear inexpensive paper or plastic framed glasses with polarized lenses. These would be similar to 3D glasses. The video presentations would include a short biography of the artist, an explanation of the artist’s process and specific quotes and content relating to the work of art it is placed next to.

In a traditional LCD Panel light is blocked by the second filter when voltage is applied to a pixel.

Cloned Identity



2001

In collaboration with: C. Tongthai Tisch School of the Arts, NYU New York, USA The identity of the object that exists in the real world is distorted by the binary filter of the digital world. Since the image of the object is captured into the digital media, the image becomes a combination of numbers, which are transformed to pixels on the computer screen. Digital system has power to create and change the image. Finally, the image is no longer the original object, but becomes a new object that has new identity, which is called “Cloned Identity”.

2002

Tisch School of the Arts, NYU New York, USA This project introduces ways of representations of a still and live image portraits through the use of digital technology. The experimental process began using two dimensional space and grid of 24X32 pixels. The research was extended using 3-D virtual environment as a canvas of the user’s portrait. A complex of algorithms is a generating machine that captures, analyses, fractalizes and finally constructs the user’s idol. The idea came from the tesserae portraits of the Byzantine period and the hagiographies. The aim was to create an alternative module through the use of digital and algorithmic technology, a contemporary mosaic using the advantages of the computational power.

A virtual environment is generated, becoming a new “chora” for the virtual body. By using algorithms, the aesthetic of the body it is manipulated over time. Moreover, the environment has a crucial role in the scene. This project is an exploration on virtual reality spaces, using algorithmic manipulation of a digital environment.

Athenian Agora

2012

This is an online museum of the Athenian Agora. The initial concept was to create, 2 ways of seeing, providing 2 gates a) the Urban gate, which is based on the archaeological site of the Athenian Agora, and b) the Museum’s gate. Through the Urban Gate the user has the opportunity, to see the Athenian Agora Site and their treasures, using Streetview technology along the Panathenian Way. The images of the Streetviews, are based on the historic Archaeological Reconstructions. This method gives the possibility to the user to understand the space of the Athenian Agora and to view the archaeological objects based on location they that had been found. The Museum Gate is based on Attalos’ Museum Program -the main museum of the Agora- presenting the archaeological objects under chronological division.

National Archaeological Museum Mycenaean Museum Epidaurus Museum

2009

This volume is a study of a multimedia application that aims to present and promote Greek antiquities. Also, it describes the activities and the restoration methods of the National Archaeological Museum. The DVD volume includes a plethora of audiovisual material in various formats, such as texts, images, videos, 3D reconstructions, VR spaces, panoramic and 360o views. Applied technologies, such as timelines, maps, encyclopedia, list of entries, notebook, search engine and educational games, functions as useful tools to aid the user to gain an eventful navigation. This proposal won the 3rd prize and offered to the producer, Erevnites Publication, the ability to develop and produce three DVD volumes: National Archaeological Museum, Epidaurus Museum and Mycenae and Mycenaean Civilisation. The concept was based on modular creation in order to use the same interface and programming infrastructure for developing multimedia DVD volumes about the Epidaurus Museum and the Mycenaean Museum. The colour palette acts as a structural element differentiating the design of the three museums. The design methods for these volumes embedded the following rules, creating a design pattern or an order: a) Ambient interface, b) Line based graphics, c) No image based graphics, d) One viewer for all the digital formats, e) One interface for text based embedded apps (font style) It was crucial to create one player for all digital formats that were included, regardless of what type of material the user wanted to view. Images, videos, QTVRs, etc., had the same player.

Aegean Flythrough

2006

This project is a 3-D animation of virtual tour above and below the Aegean Sea. The geography of the Aegean Archipelago is presented, including the Aegean Greek Islands and the seabed geography. The model was based on NASA geographical data offering a detail of 20m for the islands and 100m for the seabelt. This video also presents some of the most important underwater artifacts and antiquities of Greek History. The video was presented at the Greek Pavilion of the Venice Biennale 2006.

Scale Models of the SOFIA Foundation

On the occasion, of Photorama project, 20 3-D models of photographic and cinematographic machines, from the 19th century up to our days, were developed.

Ten 3-D objects were produced for SOFIA Foundation. SOFIA Foundation is a collector of scale models of Marklin Company and other. Their collection includes a variety of objects such as wagons, trains, train stations, zeppelins, cars and other historic vehicles of 20th century.

The models gave to the user the ability to analyse the objects using a rich virtual environment. The user had the ability to examine the models both from the outer and the inner parts, using an orbit camera and viewing animations upon request. These models are precise and detailed copies of the original objects.

2008

The 3-D objects were included in a game platform that was developed by IT company Talent.

The original models belong to the collector Adam Damianakis.
