Abstract:

Kamer/Ton is an experimental audio-visual performance tool, based on audio and video feedback phenomena combined into a single feedback loop. It consists of a couple of devices: two custom-made cameras are directed at a CRT monitor - the picture is transformed into sound, which is consequently sent to a speaker; a microphone directed towards the speaker is in turn connected to a custom-made video synthesizer, producing images displayed on the monitor. The resulting audio-visual feedback can be interacted with by modifying camera and microphone positions and parameters, which influences simultaneously generated, perfectly synchronized sonic and visual structures.
