Genetic Moo: Imagined Future Evolutions
Since 2006 Genetic Moo have been developing a series of interactive video
projections.
In this presentation, Genetic Moo will discuss their interactive video
installations where mutated human-sea-life forms both disgust and delight
audiences. They will explain their inspirations, the technologies used,
and possible future directions. The works have been described as both
beguiling & unsettling. Choreographed video clips, combining elements of
the human and the animal, respond in a variety of life-like ways to
audience motion, sound and touch. The works are driven using Open Source
and Flash Software utilizing a variety of interactive interfaces. The
creatures vary in size from the tiny Animacules to the all encompassing
Mother. The programming behind the work is just complex enough to make the
creature appear more believable.The audience should be unaware and
unencumbered by the technology.
The audience asks "What am I looking at?", not "How is this working?".
They ask "Is it Real?"
Schauerman and Pickup both gained Masters degrees from the Lansdown Centre
