Boom Lab

The Boom Lab is a case study in the context of null space research in the discipline of direct sound. Various research processes with the participation of experts from Vienna (Film Academy, Academy of Fine Arts), Berlin (Deutsche Film– und Fernsehakademie Berlin, DFFB and Universität der Künste, UdK) and Potsdam (Filmuniversität Babelsberg Konrad Wolf) followed an experimental and recursive workflow.


Here is some of the output produced in this Lab:

Boom notation workshop
Kick-off Workshop
SmoothOperator

Furthermore in order to pursue this artistic investigation, we also developed a MaxForLive device (SmoothOperator) that eavaluates smoothness in body movement in real time. This repository is open source and freely available for other artist-researchers to use and expand on:
