We worked out a couple technical glitches also on the hardware side and the stage and video technicians just did an amazing job at setting up the new screen which is now 12 m x 3 m and colour calibrating the projectors near to perfect.ĭ: How was Ars different from the other performances so far this year?

Carsten added another level of visualization to the performance by including a hardware based effect. no images or video yet) so we asked Markus to fill in the blanks:ĭerivative: Markus, when we spoke at 3am after the show in Linz you sounded pretty happy and said it was 'better than perfect' then you cut out.

The Ars performance was the fourth in a series of raster-noton/derivative collaborations launched in January 2009 at Club Transmediale in Berlin and followed by subsequent shows at Mutek Montréal in May and Sónar festival in Barcelona, Spain in June with another slated for the Icograda World Design Congress in Beijing, China in October 09.ĭedicated to advancing the way we make art and visualize information and ideas, Derivative has produced live visuals and interactive art projects for a roster of international superstars that include Richie Hawtin, Prada, Herzog & de Meuron and Rush. On September 07th, 2009, Markus Heckmann performed with alva noto at Ars Electronica – festival for art, technology and society – in Linz, Austria, wielding TouchDesigner to execute the visual element of Nicolai's 'unitxt (Derivative version)'.The prestigious festival, which is also renowned for its coveted 'prix ars electronica', awarded to alva noto in 20, is part of the Ars Electronica organization founded in 1979 to 'spotlight the emerging digital revolution'. The visuals are a literal translation of sonic data boldly and graphically rendered through line, waves, and colour that expand on the spectrum of audio-reactive visuals by explaining their creation through touchdesigner's uniquely designed user interface. The resulting visuals reveal and present the underlying compository structures of the original live-visualization that is based on the visualization of data as represented through audio waveforms.

To date, Derivative has created and presented visualisations for the label artists SND (mark fell and mat steel) and byetone as well as a special version of alva noto's live piece ' unitxt' for which the TouchDesigner software according to alva noto's original ideas and requirements has been deployed. The alliance emerged in 2008 when under the guidance of raster-noton label founders Olaf Bender (byetone) and Carsten Nicolai (alva noto), Markus Heckmann put the infinite capabilities of TouchDesigner to work in developing a performative user interface for the artists. In 2008 raster-noton and Derivative joined forces for a unique collaborative project which focused on the realization of the label artists' visual presentation during their audio-visual live shows on the basis of Derivative's TouchDesigner software.
