Summary
This paper is about a project where once again the authors are trying to build on different ideas of art with technology as the aid. In this case a cellist is used to play a solo piece. This is fed into a computer and program which can then interpret the data in order to show animation in conjunction with whatever the soloist is playing at the moment. During the performance, someone can be manipulating what mode or processing feature is active in order to change up whats on the screen even further.
Discussion
It seems that some of these art projects are semi hit or miss with me. I do like the idea of this one, however, because I think that as long as the original art action is not covered up then it is fine. Since the authors are just trying to build off of classical music, then they should not cover it up. But I believe that they have done this successfully and the added animation could be a good visual add-on to the art of classical music.
I like this theme that we are seeing of combining art with computer science. It make our profession seem a bit less boring.
