video example 4.1 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the affordance of movement "trajectories" through the use of sound.
note: video documentation shows this process in a precursor to Room Dynamics, named diagonal (for Eastern Bloc).

video example 4.2 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of low density of slowly evolving light and sound events in order to draw attention away from the object-level and towards environmental changes.

video example 4.3 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of low density of slowly evolving light and sound events in order to draw attention away from the object-level and towards environmental changes.
note: video documentation shows this process in a precursor to Room Dynamics, named countour (for a hallway).

video example 4.4 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of high density of light and sound events in order to draw attention away from the object-level and towards environmental changes.

video example 4.5 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of medium density of light and sound events in order to draw attention towards the object-level, resulting in lowered perceptual salience of changes in the surrounding environment.

video example 4.6 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of spatial counterpoint. In this example, three simple motifs are spatially transposed and modulated in space.

video example 4.7 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of "lines" (adjacent activation of luminosonic objects) as developmental motif, governed by principals of spatial modulation and transposition.
note: video documentation shows this process in a precursor to Room Dynamics, named countour (for a hallway).

video example 4.8 - Excerpt from Chris Ziegler's and Paul Modler's Neoson, illustrating the use of spatial chords. In this example, each note in the audiovisual "chord" is articulated using various compositional dynamics.

video example 4.9 - Exerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of spatial chords in illumination of various regions of the installation space.

video example 4.10 - Exerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating a form of spatial transformation. In this example, audiovisual trajectories (in mapped isomorphic relation) alternate with an audiovisual "hocket", creating trajectories of light and shadow, and transforming the appearance and character of the navigable space.

video example 4.11 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the motivic use of audiovisual trajectories. Trajectories a governed by a modified 1st order markov chain.
note: video documentation shows this process in a precursor to Room Dynamics, named diagonal (for Eastern Bloc).

video example 4.12 - Excerpt from Chris Ziegler's Forest 2 - cellular automaton, illustrating the motivic use of audiovisual trajectories.

video example 4.13 - Excerpt from Chris Ziegler's and Paul Modler's Neoson, illustrating spatial transformation using overlapping sound and light intensity ramps.

video example 4.14 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating spatial transformation using overlapping sound and light intensity ramps.

video example 4.15 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating the use of algorithmic development of the density of audiovisual, rhythmic pulses.

video example 4.16 - Excerpt from Adam Basanta's Room Dynamics, illustrating a large-scale developmental motif moving from individual luminosonic object behaviour to co-ordinated group behaviours over 4 interconnected movement states.
