Re: PixelACHE 2004

Just want to point out that the following project also was a result of
the whole PixelACHE/Signal Process/Locative workshop mix. It's actually
more related to the audio aspect of PixelAche and Signal Process than is
immediately apparent because Pure Data, what we use to fuse GPS data and
video is primarily a visual audio programming environment (like Max/MSP)
but like Max/MSP it also contains extensive libraries for working with
video. I have also used GPS data to control audio in Pure Data
(http://pallit.lhi.is/hlemmC). This is very much a work in process and
one of the things I'd like to explore further is the ability to use data
retrieved from databases instead of simply printing the GPS coordinates
to the video. Could make for some very interesting and 'different'
narrative.

Being On Location : The beginnings 'Geo-Cinema' and 'Place Code'

This slightly expands my recent short text about what I term
"Geo-Cinema" and " Place Code" and its on coming variants and the
text and ideas will be expanded and applied further…

The recent development by Palli, Sarah and myself, in Helsinki
fusing GPS to video screens in fact, conceptually stems from the
Karosta workshop in 2003 and my film "Karosta Episode 1" which
was essentially dealing with the same ideas but applied within a
narrative context.

This film was applying geo-cinematic ideas to a fused
fiction/nonfiction narrative, resulting in a film which straddled social
documentary about the novice Russian actors, and the locations that
they knew intimately, but also being re-imagined and augmented
through the eyesa and perceptions of their adopted characters.
