Panel The Dream Machine, Part 1: TeZ - PV868 (Sonic Acts XII, 2008)

Sonic Acts is a biannual festival at the intersection of arts, science, music & technology. PV868 is an experimental performance by TeZ (IT), aimed at producing an audiovisual feed/stimulus which allows moving visual patterns to emerge directly in the brain of the viewer/listener. This stimulus is generated in real-time by a combination of flickering video and synchronised synthetic sounds distributed in a quadrophonic surround system. Maurizio Martinucci (aka TeZ) is an Italian multimedia artist and producer who has collaborated with Scanner, Taylor Deupree, Francisco Lopez and others. He uses technology as a means to explore synesthesia and the relationship between sound and images. He focuses primarily on generative composition in interactive painting, live cinema and sound installations.
