Visual music that incorporates gesture is
becoming a cultural experience penetrating the way we play
and share, constantly fostering new culture phenomena.
Across* is a thesis that explores the connection between
gesture and visual music. It introduces the concept and
design of a gestural visual music system based on the study
of historical and existing theories and methodologies. The
thesis consists of various researches on relationships
between gesture and visual music in historical,
technological and cultural contexts. It derives from
theories and methodologies on gesture and gestural music
design into the domain of visual. Then the thesis introduces
several of the author's practices on gestural visual music
in three categories: the use of conducting gesture as a
visual interpretation of existing music, the use of
augmented gesture to generate simultaneous visual and music
with a multi-user experience, and use of public gesture for
a networked visual music experience across time and space.
These practices not only respond to the topics described in
the previous chapters but also raise questions and
challenges to move beyond the traditional gestural visual
music experience.
