Ribbons
Ribbons is a relatively small real-time visual instrument created for maximizing the expressiveness of the performer within its aesthetic paradigm. Its design questions the basic assumption of a flat rectangle traditional as projection space by presenting a virtual three-dimensional space where the footage (or live video) can be projected and deconstructed, adding a new dimension of expressiveness orthogonal to traditional narrative.
It was developed with the following design axes: playability vs. autonomy, expressiveness vs. narrative, and originality, and using some of the basic techniques of Human-Computer Interaction and digital lutherie.
The instrument has been used in several performances, being the last at Panoramica, in Buenos Aires, with music composed by Gabriel Córdova, under Tomás Laurenzo's direction.
Different versions of the software were used in different performances, examples being: Museos en la Noche with art collective MUX, or a performance for the Uruguayan Cluster of Design at the Planetario Municipal.
