Performance References

Matias and Joey:

I recently found a super inspiring artist named Bruce Conner who makes work through a wide variety of mediums including paint, sculpture, photography, and film. He has done collaborations with a number of musicians such as Brian Eno and David Byrne. Your piece made me think of a particular set of films Conner made called A Movie and Crossroads where he edited existing films from the first half of the 20th century, the latter half of which are somewhat disturbing, and made a kind of video collage like you are doing.
A Movie:



Kyle, Nina, Matthew:

Your concept reminds me of a lot of "live painting" that seems to have been gaining popularity recently. The video below is a bit different from your performance in that the medium of the visual artist is not within a computer so the interactivity aspect is transformed, but it is still the same basic concept.



Anand, Harrison, and Utku:

I found some music that I thought belonged to John Zorn, but apparently was written by Jonathan Zorn who I think is a completely different musician. Anyway, he took Sigmund Freud's essay "The Uncanny" and put it through Google Translate and Word's auto-summarize function. He processed the vocals with a vocoder.
