Face-Projection Experiments: Preparing for Izlog Festival – Saturn3

Preparing for Izlog Festival  and our Saturn3 Performance on 2nd May, 10:00 pm, we are experimenting with face-tracking and real time projections onto our faces.

Yesterday night we made some first tests, using infra-red light and a filter for visible light on the camera, to track the face and its landmarks in real time, while the projection was projected back onto the face, being visible for the human eye, but not for the special camera.

It’s a first idea of how it will be when the robots take over and transform Łukasz Szałankiewicz aka Zenial into one of them during the Saturn3 performance, synthesizing sound depending on his emotions.

Micro-residency Showroom of Contemporary Sound in collaboration with KONTEJNER from 18th April – 6 May, Zagreb, Croatia

As kick-off of our EMAP/EMARE Residency in Croatia this summer, we spent 3 weeks working on Emotion Recognition, Psychophysics Machines and Sound Generation.

This first stage will focus on the Emotion Recognition Software which we will use for Empathy Swarm during our main residency in June and July at KONTEJNER, Zagreb and Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Rijeka.

We take the festival IZLOG SUVRE MENOG ZVUKA – Showroom of Contemporary Sound as a chance for testing the Emotion Recognition and Sound generation in the format of our Saturn3 performance together with Łukasz Szałankiewicz aka Zenial.
