VJ’ing on buildings. (14/11/2007) Mix live visuals on the front of a building through using the audio you generate on your mobile phone. i-DAT is presenting Noogy 2.0 a large scale interactive installation at the front of the Portland Square building at the University of Plymouth. Noogy 2.0, which goes live during Motion Plymouth Festival on the 14th of November 2007, is the latest upgrade to last years Noogy that made headline news. Noogy 2.0 will combine a rich mix of the physical and virtual by incorporating ’smart’ buildings and mobile phone technologies into a dynamic building size interactive VJ system. network provider)http://www.noogy.org/

How too ‘Noo - J’: Just dial 07511 253710 and Noo - J away. The sound you produce down the phone will generate the visuals on the fly across an area of 50m2 consisting of 9600 LEDs. Standard rates apply (the rate you pay might vary dependent on network provider)http://www.noogy.org/ (rather poor phone movie..) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqWS9m0osh0
(05/11/2007). Ruairi Glynn b-DAT graduate and developer of interactive architectures (see interactivearchitecture.org) delivered a 3 day Processing workshop in processing. A-Tec researchers and students worked with Arch-OS data feeds to develop dynamic imagery for the Green Screen installation in Portland Square.

Arch-OS interpretation by Justin Roberts performed at the Peninsula Arts Contemporary Music Festival ‘VOICES II’. Friday 23 February 2007. Cube 3 Gallery, Portland Square , University of Plymouth. ‘Columbia Livia’ , part of a two-site installation, ‘Salva me’, commissioned by B ath Festivals Trust as part of a Year of the Artist Residency, and shown at the 2001 B ath International Music Festival, was ‘reversioned’ for a new installation through Arch-OS ( www.arch-os.com, an ‘Operating System’ for contemporary architectures). The Columbia Livia + Arch-OS version references ‘flocking’, a computer modelling technique coined by Craig Reynolds (1987) for the coordinated motion of groups of particles or ‘boids’. The visualisation of these algorithms mimics the flocking of birds and demonstrates principles of self-organization and the emergence of behaviors. The ebb and flow of people activated an acoustic ‘flock’ of birds (boids) that spun and wheeled around the void of the atria. ‘Columbia Livia’ deployd the sonic architectures enabled by the Arch-OS 56 speaker - 3 D sound system. A crucial feature of this version of ‘Columbia Livia’ was the emergence of unpredictable ‘complex’ sonic behaviours over the duration of its performance. http://www.arch-os.com/

(15/12/2006) i-DAT & The Bartlett School of Architecture are collaborating on an SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) and Rapid-prototyping workshop to generate an exhibition to be installed in January 2007 at University College London. The workshop and seminar are part of Nascent Research Digital Knitting Practice based research workshop, the Tran-Technology research Seminar series (Looking into the Eye of God) and the Invisible Architectures module for m-DAT. This continuing collaboration with Unit 20 of the Bartlett School of Architecture builds on last years Arch-OS workshop held in the Plymouth Planetarium. http://www.nascent-technology.net/SlidingScales.pdf
Noogy: 16 - 19 November 2006. Portland Square, University of Plymouth. To talk to Noogy text: ‘noogy; and your question..’ to 07766404142. Noogy in residence is part of the Motion Plymouth Festival 2006. Noogy’s background is a little unclear. Some claim that Noogy arrived from deep space, originating somewhere off the shoulder of Orion, watching C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser gate. Others claim that Noogy grew from within the network of CAT6 Ethernet cables, silicon chips and data mines that form the core of the Arch-OS system in Portland Square. Whilst others still claim that Noogy was there all the time, waiting in the void for the digital interface that would allow his manifestation. Some say Noogy is the ‘building’, others that Noogy is just a ‘viral infection’, like a bad cold that cant be shaken. http://www.noogy.org/

Dr Paul Thomas, Artistic Director of BEAP.(Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth 2007) will be the i-DAT Interactive Architecture Resident artist during the month of July. Thomas will be further developing Arch-OS through the i-500 Project extension. With funding provided by Curtin University the residency will focus on the articulation of the dynamic data generated by the public art instillation to be incorporated into the fabric of the Curtin University of Technology Minerals and Chemistry Research and Education Precinct buildings. http://www.i-500.org
At 6pm on the 22 July, during the Consciousness Reframed, 8th International Research Conference (21 - 23 July 2006) the ‘Sloth-bot’ will be launched as an extension of the Arch-OS project. Sloth-bots are large autonomous robots that move incredibly slowly (between 5mm and 20mm a minute). Sloth-bots, influenced by their interactions with people, imperceptibly reconfigure the architecture. Sloth-bots build on robotic technology developed by Dr Guido Bugmann, famously incorporated into Donald Rodney’s Psalms which was exhibited in the South London Gallery as a part of Rodney’s last exhibition entitled ‘Nine Night in Eldorado’, in October 1997. http://www.arch-os.com/projects/slothbots.html
