In 2016 I became a father.

To celebrate this and welcome Vilhelm to the world, we, Iben Kaalund, myself and of course the then unborn Vilhelm, made a series of concerts using the sounds from an ultra-sound doppler that was processed electronically. A series of three concerts were planned, but only two happened as Vilhelm was born the day before the last concert.
The concerts were very warm and intimate and had a very special atmosphere like inviting the audience into our little world.

vvvv played a little but significant role in visualizing the heart beat and communicate what was happening to the audience.

Band members:
Vilhelm Kaalund Petersen - Band leader, Heart beats and other strange noises
Iben Kaalund - Womb and Doppler operator
Sune Petersen - Electronics

The concerts were:

December 9, 2016 Platform 4, Aalborg
December 21, 2016 Musikbiblioteket, Odense
December 27, Birth
December 28, Sorte Firkant, Copenhagen - Cancelled

Following the theme of Human/Machine - Machine/Human Ghost Scanning #2 Sune Petersen has created an installation that use modern depth sensing technology to scan back and forth through the space in front of the projection (Fancy way of saying kinect depth image). The trace of people passing by affects the projection and draw traces in the chaotic noise that continuously evolve.

Ghost Scanning #2 is as the title suggest a continuation of Ghost Scanning

Commissioned by DIAS - a digital art space in an active train station.

The installation was on display 24/7 from February 17 2017 to April 5 2017

The installation was presented in Montreal for the first time. It is the most recent form of an exploration about randomness in poetry.

One of the very first haïkus -by Bashō (芭蕉)- went like this:
old pond
frog leaps in
water's sound

the haïkus' journey is an open invitation for the audience. Spontaneous thoughts and contributions are combined in a pond of letters constantly stirred by the train's passage.

With one's fingertips, idea seeds are typed on the keyboard. Letters emerge like molecules to form the words' various flavors. A poetic symphony then resonates over the lake.

Each and every lap, the sensible eye of the locomotive finds new words and combinations. A poetic stamp on the forest. Invisible to almost all human eyes.

Thanks a lot to the vvvv team and @mrvux for such a great tool.

The Process to approximate and adjust,
to iterate and refine
is weaved into every form of creation.

The ongoing need to adapt an existing configuration, based upon an everchanging subjective need, seems to be an exclusive element of creative exploration. To investigate a material that primarily resonates within the researcher himself, seems to be a highly intrinsic feature of human behaviour.

The piece "12 Bit Alchemy", commissioned by Fiber Festival 2017 and exhibited at Prima Materia, is devoted to no other field then the act of tinkering, play and refinement itself. By merging diverse digital procedures, we continuously aim to portray the desire for computational, yet visual revelations.
