Screen Memory
Read-Outs
This project
is a collaboration between the Department of Visual Art and the Department
of Music of the Institute of Artificial Art. It is a spin-off of
the project Artificial, which
aims at the fully automatic generation of a maximally large and stylistically
varied class of random pictures. Recent versions of Artificial produce
music during the picture generation process by continually translating
the screen memory content into a wave file.
In live
performances of Artificial Music, the audience can observe the
picture generation process on a CRT display or data-projection screen.
At the same time, the audio-equivalent of the image-in-progress is transmitted
through a power amplification system.
