Climate Control

Bart Woodstrup, an MFA student at RPI, is currently showing "a series of climate-interactive electronic installations and eco-visualizations intended to address the personal detachment felt towards global climate change." (iEAR Presents)

A "manual" for the installation describes some of the transformations ("data interpretations"): "Power: plant height and rate of growth; Irradiance: sun/cloud/moon animation; Ambient Temperature: leaf color and brightness; Module Temperature: flower head hue and saturation; Timescale: 1:1,800 seconds".

Wind as Light

Direct transcoding via an array of custom electromechanical devices with the wind to light project.

Tim Knowles

Influenced by Roman Singer's extended definition of sculpture (e.g.: invoking time in pieces like "Helicopter with a Blue Spray Can"), Time Knowles unifies his work with ideas about chance and process. They are also involve transcoding physical movement visually: using drawing devices to transcribe the acceleration of a car, the movement of a tree branch, or the wind's effect on a balloon.

Weird Converter

"How many Shaquille O'Neals in a giraffe's neck?" Approximately 1.24. Weird Converter transcodes nonstandard measurement units.

Scrambler Drawings

Rosemarie Fiore's Scrambler Drawings transcode position over time is into a permanent visual form. Gas generators and buckets of paint are connected to the chairs of a carnival ride, turning the machine into a giant plotter.
