Video Installation and Performance

Video by Jim Merz. Custom video software and performance by Jim Merz. Music by Alec Johnson.

Since 1987, I’ve been creating software for performing visual music in real time. I have performed in a variety of settings including with an orchestra and dancers. In addition, I’ve built self running version for installations, and I’ve even used this video “instrument” with children at a local arts magnet school. This software has gone thru many versions and a few different computer platforms and programing languages, but I keep coming back to some of the same basic shapes and algorithms.

I performed this in real time using software that I'm building with Cocoa and Objective-C on the mac.
