Sandy Island: a new form of parameters' space management

https://aimc2023.pubpub.org/pub/a3ofjcxd

Sandy Island is an adaptive audio and video site-specific installation the author presented in 2022. The work has been made possible thanks to a new formulation of the synthesis space exploration task, based on an agnostic representation of parameters of aggregate instruments as points in a three-dimensional virtual space. I focus on the underlying technology of the work and thus on the flexibility of the system and its ability to morph and self-generate new instruments’ configurations with desired characteristics. I stress the advantage of such approach presenting its practical application and suggesting new ones. The work is part of the author’s data-driven research project inspired by working in public spaces creating self-evolving multimedia environments which exhibit an adaptive behaviour to the surrounding external conditions.
