Special Presentation: Eric Theise, Carto-OSC
Fort Collins, Colorado, United States
Geospatial Centroid: CSU Morgan Library Room 203
Since April 2022 Eric Theise has been manipulating projected digital maps in collaboration with improvising musicians in Europe and the United States. His A Synesthete’s Atlas takes a unique approach to expanded cinema, drawing strategies from experimental film & animation, color theory, the Light and Space movement, and concrete poetry.
He’ll present Carto-OSC, an assemblage of open source libraries, data, and protocols, plus the 1000+ lines of JavaScript that integrates it all into a touch-surface. He’ll discuss his motivations, use of the Open Sound Control protocol, offer aesthetic observations, and present video excerpts of previous performances.
