Isolite is an interfacing platform that utilizes tomographical information for fast paced meshing studies. The application consists of an image analysis node in Max.Msp.Jitter and a visualization and computation node in Processing.

Created for realtime visualization of the resulting isosurface from a video scan of geometry, Isolite includes a series of threshold sliders and rotational viewing of the generated mesh for calibration before output.

Studio Mode and Brandon Zeeb were commissioned by performance artist Tahni Holt to consult on the design and development of a series of projected visuals for the live performance “Endless Ocean Endless Sky.”

The hour-long performance is structured around a script consisting of 100 short chapters based on Holt’s non-linear, non-narrative “blueprint.” Utilizing the processing capabilities of Max.Msp.Jitter, Studio Mode developed a library of short-sequence and procedurally-processed videos which were compiled into longer formats for the performance.

Sykada1.0 is an ambient feedback network composed of a user interactive video interface and an audio indexing system.

Working in collaboration with Andrew Kudless (MATSYS) and Brandon Zeeb, Studio Mode designed and developed Sykada to record and process site-specific sounds relating changing user positions and proximities to pieces within the installation space.

The system consists of a motion tracking surveillance and analysis application in Max.Msp.Jitter, operating in junction with a recording and granular processing engine in Native Instruments’ Reaktor.

Studio Mode and Brandon Zeeb were commissioned by Andrew Kudless (MATSYS) and the ACADIA to further develop Sykada1.0 to implement greater degrees of complexity in the layering of locational and audio input.

The system consists of multiple associative surveillance inputs, whereby discrete locations measure difference locally as well as at a global scale. Triggered by the interaction of users, the reprocessing of site-specific sounds throughout the installation space serves as both an active and reactive audio environment.
