The adaptation used 4 Xbox controllers and the LED strip was a minor visual indicated of the action on each of the controllers, a bit of eye candy at the ACUD Gallery in Berlin in 2022 as part of <a href=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/unexpected-territories-siguhr-projects-berlin\/\">Unexpected Territiories<\/a>.  This has progressed and the sketches are working towards how to use the LED strips with motion sculpturally, kinetically, spatially.  Software in progress will combine the motion of the patterns in the LED&#8217;s in counterpoint to the physical motion.  One variation is cylindrical.  There is an other configuration involving controlled twisting of the strips.  These will manifest both as instruments for performance and objects for installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a common technique in closed loop mechanical control using notched wheels to provide velocity, direction and position. The DC motors are low torque and can be high speed. A feather then a good visual element. The combination of opqueness and transparency offer nice possibilities as recpipeint of light and production of shadow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"5310\" src=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2213-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2213-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2213-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2213-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2213-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2213-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"5309\" src=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2211-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5309\" style=\"width:350px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2211-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2211-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2211-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2211-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2211-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2211-960x720.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A varation to try is control twisting of the led strips under progrmmatic control for correlation of motions, patterns in the LED&#8217;s and associated sound.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2214-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5311\" style=\"width:300px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2214-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2214-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2214-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2214-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2214-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are various other curiosities in various states of construction.

I was honored to be able to assist with lighting and the installation emphasizing the shadows and 3 dimensional possibilities of the work. This has spawned a slowly developing project for projections as an alternative or extension to the physical panels that was one of the avenues for the recent montage and collage studies and sketches. For Teasing Chaos at MdM Salzburg, one of the images was used as a back drop for the Michael Johnsen&#8217;s realization of Tudors&#8217; Untitled. For the performances at Arter in Istanbul in December, i attempted to animate these static images using some of the common techniques familiar back from the work with Tom in the 1970&#8217;s with limited success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1lO7hqScq8_C-4EjNCxhswvKGZ4zwjZK3\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allow=\"autoplay\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jitter_Graphics_Player_Montage_%E2%80%93_Collage_Generator\"><\/span>Jitter Graphics Player: Montage &#8211; Collage Generator<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Jitter Max Patch takes a collection of images and \/ or video and does a random walk including: fade in\/out, super-position with variable transparency, scaling, horizontal and vertical position.

Now, I&#8217;ve taken the photo&#8217;s and created a montage using MAX and Jitter using a patch I developed when I delved back into Jitter in a deeper way in steps since 2022 and then in 2024 and now possibly again. These are a remarkable window into a time and place that is captivating personally but I suspect more widely. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To me this is essential digital legacy and remembrance of the best sort if I can overcome the obstacles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I am strongly drawn to this, I also have strong doubts on whether this can be refined to a level that I would find satisfying both on emotional and technical level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used this patch originally  for projecting images from Sophia Ogielska&#8217;s Maps and Fragments panels for backdrop of performances of Tudor work in Istanbul Dec 2024. There are deep flaws in the current state in my use of randomness and the rectilinear nature of the motion.  The randomness of superpositions is disturbing. There is tension between the content of the images and the mechanics of the algorithm.  While the use of randomness is a convenience, it is also a serious flaw here. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The motion control has a number of control parameters.  In the first version above, there are setting that result in  in jumps in the motion.  For now the sample just cycles a few fixed images rather than using the complete album of 26 images included to date. There are additional images to be scanned from the original photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My interest is typically combined sound and image and this has me in a very different realm. I don&#8217;t have a mental image of what sounds I might consider which is not a particular obstacle at the moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I now feel obligated to do further research on exactly when and where the overseas photos were taken.  I have memory of my father mentioning Morotai, Philipinnes, perhaps Papua New Guinea (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Morotai-island-Indonesia\">https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Morotai-island-Indonesia<\/a>). The US pictures with my mother Atlantic City and \/or  Brooklyn. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think that the basic idea is worth for exploring and can see how this may work for other collections of photos and video. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is refinement as of May 31 with rapid smoother transitions with a few more images (#3)&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1mSe3NzyD-lufDN4F2z9B--gdg4qqHWby\/preview\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" allow=\"autoplay\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An avenue here is refinement of thematic &#8220;cinematic&#8221; direction over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As of 2025-06-05, an additional set of sketches and Studies here  under <a href=\"https:\/\/composers-inside-electronics.net\/cie-wp20\/eclipse-2025\/materialsnewworks\/collage-montage-cm-sketches-and-studies-2025-06-05\/\">Montage Collage Sketches and Studies 2025-06-05<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\"><summary>Detail here <\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I forked off new version of the max patch (vid-playerV4) and started generalizing for other image sets.

Also in prepartion and adaptation adding interactive controls and live feed for use in performance and installation.
