THE WAVE: AN IMMERSIVE SENSORY EXCHANGE._

This project was develop by the Production Installation Performance [PIP] Studio at Rensselaer School of Architecture and consist in an installation / performance that attempts to synthesize the human experience with data derived from the Jefferson Project’s sensor network data at Lake George. Video and audio field recordings are overlain with data visualization and sonification to produce a hybrid sensory experience fusing the scientific and experiential aspects of the lake.

The project is coordinated by Associate Professor Ted Krueger. Participating architecture students are: Kristen Anderson, Alexander Brown, Austin Cantone, Jessica Gentile, Alexandra Kallish, Valerie Kwart, Xu Liu, Madeline MacDonald, Emily MacDougall, Ashley Membreno, Sarah Morsches, and Sara Paclat; and from the Arts / HASS department: Daniel Ackermans,  Laura Decker, Jacob Doskocil, Alexander Giles, Nathan Keil, Mallory Morgan, Xavier Salazar, Alexander Stewart, and Ricardo Tovar Mateus.

In keeping with Art_X @ Rensselaer, a teaching and learning initiative designed to help Rensselaer students discover the connections that exist between art, science, and technology; the team has invited scientists and artist to participate in the project. This year, they have collaborated with Prof. Rick Relyea, Director of the Jefferson Project to use data streams from the extensive sensor networks. Other contributors are:

Invited Artist Andrea Polli, holds the Mesa Del Sol Endowed Chair of Digital Media and directs the Social Media Workgroup, a lab at the University’s Center for Advanced Research Computing. She is an Environmental artist focused on the interaction of art, science, and technology to bring attention to environmental issues. Her work includes signification, light, installation, and experimental architecture.

Rob Hamilton, PhD. is Assistant Professor of Music and Media at Rensselaer. He is a composer, performer, researcher and software designer. His creative and analytical practice explores the cognitive implications of the spaces between interactive game environments, network topographies and procedurally-generated sound and music.Robert Hamilton has dealt with the representation of data as non-speech sound.

The installation is the result of collaboration between the School of Architecture and the Art Department of the School of Art, Humanities and Social Sciences at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Chris‘49 and Marcia Paris Jaffe Program in Art, Music, and Architecture has funded this installation. Since the 1990s, the Jaffe Family has periodically funded collaborations between an architectural design studio and a course within the Arts, who, together with an invited artist, work together to develop an installation or performance.
