Quadrinity

Four people in four cities, playing together

A workshop and streamed presentation in the Associated Designers of Canada’s Level-Up series: four people, in Vancouver, Spain, Toronto and Montreal, playing one set of media together.

Leap Motion hand trackers read each person’s hands. The values travel between the cities as OSC, in real time, and each is assigned to something to be controlled: volume, reverb, pan, the picture.

Screen capture: four small video windows of the participants beside a globe labelled Vancouver, CanadaScreen capture: four textures blended in an oval, with one participant’s video in each cornerScreen capture: the participants beside a grid with coloured bars for volume, reverb and panScreen capture: the participants beside an old cartoon of dancing skeletons

Across distance

Making and performing with people who are in other cities: what travels between the rooms is control values and pictures, not people.
