Glyph Graves’ Liquidity installation

Glyph participated in ACVA Lab earlier this year. He's been busy with new work, including an installation at IBM's Liquidity Exhibition in SL. Cells – a collaboration with fellow Lab participant Julian Stadon –converts movement data from a real life colony of Protozoa located at Curtain University's Studio of Electronic Art, into an up close and personal exploration of life.

"This isn't just a simple RL/SL communication project it is literally real life mediated and projected into a new virtual existence. Somewhere in the bowels of Perth in the Studio of Electronic Arts at Curtin University, WA, Australia there is a lonely petri dish sitting on a bench. Inside this petri dish is a colony of Protozoa. Their movement is captured through video microscopy and then converted into a real time data stream and sent to SL. I take this data and map it to colour, movement and a melody is produced that is the audio transformation of the raw data."

The exhibition is now closed, but an archive is available through captured video and images.

Glyphs work is my favorite virtual art at present. Ground breaking work conceptually and visually which is rare.
