Playing around with the 'fresh made' multitouch / pressure controller , finished in the 27th edition of the chaoss congress in Berlin. 27-30 deccember.
this device it has 6 contacts that are sentitive to the pressure that you apply on them (and also to the moisture, hmm :) . It's connected directly to a provissional / visual puredata patch feeded just by by webcam and affects to some parameters such x/y zoom, distortion, glitch, etc.. Really haven't explored a lot the possibilities of this 'thing' but I'm really
really impressed with the performance and response..
now I don't want to perform without it !
the brain of the controller it's a Minia board (minitronics.net).
In this informal documentation video you can see also a mapping projection by fRed. Thanks to Christian sonntag for doing the camera, all the VisualBerlin crew for doing high-class visuals in the congress and Gregoa for the "chaoss support"
All the audio that was performed during the congress will be online somewhere under the tags, 27c3, lounge, music...
Btw. the video was shooted in a kind of portable device and edited together in Linux using the 'default' video editor. quite fast, and I'm surprised that it accepts the video streams, no matter in which format they are..
cheers
