excerpt from VOCALIC: AN AUDIO-VISUAL INTERACTIVE INSTALLATION (2021)

​A vocalic is a sound that is relating to or consisting of a vowel or vowels. In this work I seek to explore the non-verbal sounds humans use to express and communicate their emotional state and use live camera tracking of a space to control the sounds and images of the project. The tracking can function either passively, simply monitoring movement within a space, or actively by direct interaction with a person. Vocalic​ was installed at the University at Buffalo in the Fall of 2021. Thank you to Lihuen Sirvent for lending her voice to this project.

Minimum Technical Needs:
