This gathering is to share and reflect on the inspiration and fascinations from and out work with Tom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We should have more specifics on this event by mid-July. We plan both in person and a zoom session for remote visitations for anyone who won&#8217;t be able to attend in person.  This will include a round table of sorts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading is-style-widget-title has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9a01419782edd0cc00047b567bb360b9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"On_the_Nature_of_the_Work\"><\/span>On the Nature of the Work<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a deep connection in our creative work based in scientific and technical principles as a source of inspiration and structure.  In my view, the vibrancy here comes with the union of art and science.  We hope that curiosity will lead to inspiration.  There is a curatorial bias to provide context as an aid to visitors.  Given circumstances and resource, this is understood to be short of explanation.  Another bias, much of the focus is to make available that which we find compelling as more essential than what could be merely interesting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Bit_of_Background_and_Introduction\"><\/span>A Bit of Background and Introduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tom Ditto introduced my long term collaborator John Driscoll and I to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brillgallery109.com\/\">Ralph Brill<\/a> February 2024 during John&#8217;s and my one week residency at <a href=\"http:\/\/empac.rpi.edu\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"empac.rpi.edu\">EMPAC<\/a> at RPI. John and I were in Troy to work with students for a realization of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getty.edu\/research\/tools\/guides_bibliographies\/david_tudor\/av\/rainforest.html\">Rainforest IV <\/a>as part of a series of events with the central theme of transducers as creative tools and media. Ralph invited us to stop by the <a href=\"https:\/\/eclipsemill.com\/\">Eclipse Mill <\/a>in North Adams on our way back to Massachusetts. During that visit, Ralph invited us to show work in the gallery there during the last week in July 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tom and I then in July 2024 put together a collection of various of his video and sketches of mine to show for a brief week then. Tom showed <a href=\"https:\/\/digitalartarchive.siggraph.org\/artwork\/vibeke-sorensen-tom-dewitt-calypso-cameo\/\">Calypso Cameo<\/a> and the 3D Rolling Stones music video. I took this as an opportunity show work in progress of recent things I had been working.

We became the closest of life long friends. He was a never ending source of inspiration and encouragement, intellectual challenge and amazement. The path led from the early video pieces, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videohistoryproject.org\/video-synthesizer-review-existing-synthesizers-excerpted-design-device\">Design Device<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.videohistoryproject.org\/pantograph\">Pantomation <\/a>and EBA (previously Electronic Body Arts <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ebaarts.org\">http:\/\/www.ebaarts.org<\/a>), the WNET-TV Lab residencies and projects, up through the patents starting with the <a href=\"https:\/\/opg.optica.org\/ao\/abstract.cfm?uri=ao-34-14-2510\">Diffraction Range Finding<\/a>. Tom and I connected on so many different levels. We shared common familiarity with the nature of visual music, vector synthesis, of parallel interests in creative work based in scientific and technical principles, laser deflection systems. I am eternally grateful for this intellectual and emotional support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I was generally aware, I was less intimate with understanding the holography and astronomy. In his passing, I have found solace in connection to several of his friends and collaborators that I knew of and now part of the contributions here that need to be included.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ralph and I expect that the material in the gallery will evolve over this month including and adapting to contributions as available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By May, we have a good collection of video materials and I have a working prototype of a semi-interactive webcrawler and collection of video that we can show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"As_Is\"><\/span>As Is<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are various artifacts found in digital media that form points of reference as shaped by circumstances as much as intent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Video_Gallery\"><\/span>A Video Gallery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will setup several screens with presentation of Tom&#8217;s video including the art work and recordings of talks, demonstrations and presentations.

My thought is to surface a collection (or mashup) of the creative meanders and exploration. The invitation from Ralph is a special opportunity for me to show current manifestations that unabashedly combine my own perspectives intertwined with impacts and how my creative endeavors have been shaped.

There is a rich complex braid of common and divergent interests, collaborations and collaborators to channel here. I have from John Driscoll curatorship of materials from his development of ultrasonic instruments and our recent hacking of DMX commodity devices as a contribution here. With what comes with age, this all has me in a bit of an autobiographical mode. I have in recent years felt the need to pay respects to the circumstances and people that were key points in those early transformative years along with Tom such as Joel Chadabe and Maude Baum that surface here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of what I do is variations on the possibilities found in the construction of expressive systems &#8211; the boundary between person and automata in a microcosm, as parable, of follies, of how software shapes environment, experience, the nature of mixed electronic media. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is a chance for me to do another iteration of the nurb generator, to re-do a Pulfrich, to work on the networked orchestra and choreopraphy for future works, to provide a glimpse of the Philharmonia revisited studies, latest refinements on feedback loops and my thoughts on adding Bayesian to the variation of electronic, video and acoustic feedback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have been looking for ways of exposing my interest in software more explicitly. I have long had the understanding of software as an essential expressive media. Here, I have an opportunity to take elements, networked and bound and defined by software as substance in contrast to the more physical things That virtual object are not second class shadows of the real and is the materiality of the world as I understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a wealth of information, research papers on <a href=\"http:\/\/3dewitt.com\">http:\/\/3dewitt.com <\/a> on his endeavors in Astronomy, NASA, SPIE and the 3d Ring for example the demo at Consumer Electronics Show(CES).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I turned to a growing number of web pages to help fill in the blanks to more fully appreciate what I was looking at.   From that, for the Eclipse Gallery for August, I have a semi-interactive web crawler that scrolls through a list of website that I feel may help provide context that should prove useful ireference and insights and points of inspiration.   Many of these pages are from 3dewitt.com, wikipedia, and various people and passages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Web_Crawler_Max_Patch\"><\/span>Web Crawler Max Patch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a starting point, the crawler selects from the website list and after pause, starts scrolling through the page allowing a visitor to pause and follow links on the page. A QRCODE is show for each page A viewer can then use their smartphone to capture URL&#8217;s of interest as a take-away. I have an initial list of pages from 3dewitt.com and pages from others like Rudie Berhkout that surface in the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-4-1024x575.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5046\" srcset=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-4-1024x575.png 1024w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-4-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-4-768x431.png 768w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-4-1536x862.png 1536w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-4-2048x1149.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The web crawler was implemented using the <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.cycling74.com\/legacy\/max8\/refpages\/jweb\">MAX Jweb <\/a>object based on the Chromium Embedded Framework (CEF). This is intended to run on computer I&#8217;ll supply and requires a live internet connection for operation. This will allow extending in various ways to be covered in future updates. Features include user selection of scroll rate, Next, Shuffle, Pause and Scroll buttons.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is imperfect in many ways though should serve as an means to find useful breadcrumbs. For instance, the embedded video in the page above isn&#8217;t properly rendered in CEF.  An interested visitor to the gallery will be able to grab the QRcode as a takeway. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While not a bad starting point, there are a number of refinements likely needed here. Some improvements for ease of use and customization for the gallery usage (e.g. pulldown list is just URL rather than page titles). Users can use mouse (or possibly track ball or other human interface device) for scrolling and following links. There a configurable timer (~2 minutes) that would return to the automated scrolling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A couple of quick chatgpt queries gave me the autoscroll and QR generator javascript snippets. One key is the &#8220;executejavascript&#8221; function that allows the injection of the autoscroll code into website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some notable differences between how CEF works and other browsers such as Chrome, Safari and Opera.  For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Video from Google drive and other source isn&#8217;t supported for playback (for instance as found on this page)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>CEF as found in JWEB supports injection of javascript such as the autoscroll control and rate and easy means of integration with other components.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Click here for more detail on the web crawler implementation<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mostly as an aid to memory for myself and breadcrumb, here is snapshot of the MAX patch web crawler in edit mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"675\" fetchpriority=\"low\" src=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-1024x675.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5025\" srcset=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-1024x675.png 1024w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-768x506.png 768w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-1536x1012.png 1536w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-3-2048x1349.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_More\"><\/span>And More<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shakespeares_Whispers\"><\/span>Shakespeare&#8217;s Whispers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only in the recent years did I come to appreciate Tom&#8217;s passion and understanding of the works of William Shakespeare. My awareness of this started a few years back with his describing a production of Hamlet using holograms the manifestation of the ghost. This became more clear in a co-joined idea for presenting the whispered soliloquies using acoustic focusing techniques based in the common nature of wave physics of light ant sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Maquettes_Models_and_Demonstrations_a_Tom_Celebration_and_coming_together\"><\/span>Maquettes, Models and Demonstrations, a Tom Celebration and coming together<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While there is limited time and resources, it would be quite delightful to show some of the physical things such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>the 3d Ring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>a small interactive motion capture interactive demo based on Pantomation readily avalable starting with open source software such as OpenCV<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Laser Deflection <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chroma 3d &#8211; a demonstration of viewing a 3d image using chroma depth glasses<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A Tom Celebration Event at Eclipse &#8211; probably aroudn August 22-24.
