New Media Artists!

Multimedia Dance Piece
Conception/Direction : Yuzo Ishiyama

       I find this piece very interesting because of how much multimedia was able to be incorporated into this dance piece.  The timing and placement of the technological aspects and of the dancers had to be very precise to achieve the look that was achieved through the performance of this piece.   Of all of the arts, I feel that dance has probably been least influenced by multimedia artists as a whole, but of the few who have been able to break into the field of dance, all of their work, including this "Multimedia Dance Piece" by Yuzo Ishiyama, it is quite impressive to see technology working with humans (dancers) so seamlessly.

Animusic

Wayne Lytle

       Animusic is an interesting concept that I stumbled upon that was originally thought of by Wayne Lytle in 1982.  Mr. Lytle envisioned synchronizing music and animation.  I really enjoy his works because they all create a very entertaining way to watch music as it is being made.  The company has actually now produced several DVD's showcasing the different songs accompanied with animated visualizations.  The song I found first and like most of all that I have seen can be viewed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klfzGdeOaws. All of the songs produced by Mr. Lytle and his company are very pleasing to both the ear and the eye.

      Artist Kimmp Kangasniemi and his team at StereoScape make 3D work.  They have done things from 3D holographic projections to recreating old movies to be viewed in a stunning realistic form of 3D.  I watched their videos on a 3D television and their work is truly stunning from what I can tell.  They have also created 3D holographic projections for things from gasoline to shrimp sandwich sales.  I think their work is very interesting and I would like to learn more about how 3D holographic projection works.
