FotonLab 1.0

FotonLab is a series of workshops focusing on new, technologically advanced audiovisual interfaces, organised by Foton (Brussels). FotonLab 1.0 deals with realtime sound, video & 3D multi-screen processing.

FotonLab 1.0 is open to electronic musicians, video artists and 3D-animators, giving them the opportunity to work with Windows On Another World™ (WOAW™), an extremely powerful realtime sound, video and 3D effect-processor for multi-screen projections, developed by Periactes and Lucid Lights.

Through direct control on different levels WOAW™ is a perfect interface for electronica-, vj- en dj-events:
- realtime choice and combination of source material
- realtime choice among a wide variety of effects and their according levels
- realtime analysis of the audio input
- correlation between the generated images and the physical configuration of the projection screens
- possibility of using MIDI and DMX as control signals.

The goal of the FotonLab 1.0 workshop is to test the multiple possibilities of the WOAW™ system and to create, in a collaborative and multidisciplinary way, an immersive audiovisual world. The workshop lasts 5 days and allows for 6 to 8 audiovisual artists to participate. At the end of the workshop the result will be open to the public.
