Practice of Strings
Interactive audio-visual performance with virtual immersive environment.
The practice of the strings is manifested in various ways of human thinking. It is not just the Global Theory of Strings in physics, for example, there is a mechanism of the strings in programming as one of the base concepts of the relationship between the code of software, the programmer and the thought process of the program. This string is the form of thoughts which is translated into the form of numbers.
By using of the performer`s movements this immersive system makes fast reaction as feedback when the human body becomes to the lead mediator of the whole system. In that moment there are some close relationships between the human`s mind and synthetic intelligence happens. This relationship could be described as the “string”. This “string” is not visible, it is impossible to detect it by physical sensors, it is not sound and it is not the visuals. But just it is inside the space, and the human which is inside it just has no doubt about the presence of this string.
As the sound material the sounds of stringed instruments are used. Prerecorded and sampled sounds are mixed with synthesised and generated sounds in real time. Physical modeling algorithm such as Karplas-Strong is used as well. To record the basical sounds of strings some acoustic instruments were used. Some of them
were found spontane by the way in creating the project. For example the “Red October” piano. Also it was used some of the principles of addition and multiplication of sinusoids as a mathematical model of an undamped strings.
