VRitual AV uses the Leap Motion 3D controller, as well as a multi-touch iPad interface to enable small-area gestural control of audio-visuals. The performer can move his or her hands to perform and mix music, lights and visuals in real-time with relative precision. The ultimate in tactile audio-visual interfaces!

Edited by Steve Gibson, Stefan Arisona, Donna Leishman and Atau Tanaka. Live Visuals is both an overarching history of real-time visuals and audio-visual art and a crucial source for understanding the various theories about audio-visual synchronization.

Opto-Phono-Kinesia (OPK) is a body-based audio-visual performance piece. The title is a play on the possible synaesthetic state involving connections between vision, sound and body motion. This synaesthetic intersection is simulated in OPK by simultaneity of body movement, and audio-visual result.

Virtual VJ employs motion tracking technology in order to allow participants to use space as an audio and video performance tool. Virtual VJ unites the role of the DJ and VJ into one interface, enabling users to control different aspects of the sound and video environment with their movements.

"When Ghosts Will Die", a performance-installation that utilizes multi-sensory elements such as sound, video, light, and text controlled by motion-tracking technology, tells the story about the dangers of nuclear proliferation. Inspired by the play, "Copenhagen", by Michael Frayn, it explores the use of non-linguistic elements in the service of making poetry and telling stories.

VIRTUAL DJ uses the tracking capabilities of the Gesture and Media System to allow one or more users to use space as an audio remix or performance tool. Users literally wave their arms, and as if by magic new audio loops are accessed, synthesizer filters are opened, samples are played, and drum loops are started. Simultaneously robot lights follow the users, dynamically changing in relation to their position and the audio.

CONTACT: YOU AND I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT THE END OF THE WORLD is a collaborative event with live electronic music by Steve Gibson, images by Randy Adams, and real-time interactive programming by Gibson and Jim Andrews.

TELEBODY is conceived as a large-scale piece for two music and video "performers." Using digital music instruments, the players have real-time control over an audio environment and images of two entire bodies.

The central theme of TELEBODY revolves around man-machine relations, and more specifically the man-machine interface and the human body.

The Bride Stripped Bare was a band and a phenomenon that was definitely ahead of its time. Mixing post-punk, noise, synthpop, and prog rock seemed natural enough to us, but in an era of stricter styles than today, this was certainly not the norm. Throw in a perverse sense of humour, "whiny, nasty vocals" and mixed-media elements (including 16 mm film) and there was definitely something unique about the band.
