Week 10 Forum - Honors Presentation

Today we had two presentations. They were from Poppi Doser and Martin Victory.

Poppi presented a movie with an animation student she has been working with for a few years. Poppi's work always seems to be of very high quality. I think the way she interprets media is quite good. The music suited to visuals quite well.

Martin presented us with a complicated SuperCollider patch that interpreted network traffic into music. This is defiantly an original idea but I don't see it being commercial viable unless the patch can differentiate between certain data. What would be really cool if it was possible to generate certain music based on what material was being searched. I don't think this is possible but it's worth a shot. I think Martin's original idea is still pretty impressive and I'm curious to see how he explores this topic further.
