Stream Cycles is a generative, site-specific projection installation created using video and audio field recordings gathered from Stony Brook State Park near Alfred, NY and processed in Max MSP.
A field recording-based soundscape, recorded through use of specialized microphones like hydrophones is paired with corresponding footage from onsite locations, and triggered generatively based on the overall, collective volume of the piece. A webcam feed of the projections is also live-streamed in the background. The installation is ever-changing, influenced by the surrounding environment in the room. As the audiovisual sequences ebb and flow, the piece cascades like a waterfall.
This installation was created at the Institute for Electronic Arts (IEA) at Alfred University as part of their Experimental Research Residency in New Media, in collaboration with Tyson Houseman.
