Fugitive Moments
by Sarah Rubidge, Beau Lotto and Erwan Le Martelot
is showing at the Otter Gallery, College Lane, Chichester
November 23rd – December 15th 2006
Research Presentation by Sarah Rubidge and Beau Lotto: Wednesday
November 29th 12-1pm
Two generative digital installations Fugitive Moments I & II will
presented in the Otter Gallery. These are the interim results of a
two-year science-art collaboration undertaken by Sarah Rubidge and Dr
Beau Lotto. Funded by the Wellcome Trust, the project has been
exploring the potential of using feeling states engendered when
viewing complex patterns of colour and motion as an interactive
interface for digital imagery. Subject’s physiological responses,
which are indicators of feeling states, have been measured as
different versions of the digital imagery featured in the Fugitive
Moments installations were viewed. The potential of this data to
modulate, in realtime, the evolution of the computer systems that are
generating the imagery is currently being explored.
Taking on a variety of colour palettes the Fugitive Moments
installations are a form of kinetic digital ‘painting’, designed to
affect viewers’ physiological systems as they evolve in the custom-
built software which drives them. The choices of the colour and pace
in the imagery displayed in the gallery were influenced by the
experiments that have been undertaken in Lottolab during the research
period. In both installations, as the visual imagery evolves it
harbours an echo of the intricacies of the hidden flows of energy
that lie within a dancer's movements.
As well as viewing artist-generated imagery viewers will have the
opportunity to create their own evolving imagery using the Fugitive
Moments computer system.
There is also an opportunity to participate in the ongoing series of
biometric experiments which have been undertaken during the Fugitive
Moments research and to experience the effect of their physiological
responses on the evolution of the imagery. If you are interested in
participating in these experiments please contact Sarah Rubidge by
email on s.rubidge*a*chi.ac.uk
This project has been supported by The Wellcome Trust, University of
Chichester, The Institute of Opthalmology UCL, and lottolab
