Lifeforms By Stanza
The "mutations" are a series of generated paintings, based on the artists sampled and sequenced DNA profile. This work is my DNA portrait.My DNA was sequenced originally in 2003. I have made some slight changes and incorporated more data from my DNA sequences. The audio is playing along sequences of my DNA string.
If you would like to commission your own DNA portrait please contact me.
INSTALLATION: To be projected on the walls in a gallery or architectural space. Also available for touch screens; if you want exhibit them get in touch. Screen resolution 1024 by 768.
EXHIBITION FEATURE. FOR LIGHT NITE LEEDS.

Sensity
networked, installation, locative, stanza, netart, soundscape, interface, livefeed, urban, architectural, 2007, wireless
Sensity artworks are made from the data that is collected across the urban and environment infrastructure. Using the environment to make art.These artworks made will represent the movement of people, pollution in the air, the vibrations and sounds of buildings, they will be in effect emergent social sculptures visualising the emotional state of the city. The sensor network can be moved from urban to rural setting and different types of visualization can be made depending on the environment. Sensity is an open social sculpture that informs the world and creates new meaningful experiences.
A network of sensors, some fixed, and some embedded, collects data which is then published online. The sensors then interpret the micro-data of the interactive city. The output from the sensors displays the emotional state of the city online and the information will be used to create installations and sculptural artefacts.
Sensity is a highly technical project that's will give vast amounts of information about the fabric of our cities. By embedding the sensors we can re-engage with the urban fabric and enable new artistic metaphors within city space. The sensors are positioned across the city. Custom software enables these sensors to communicate will one another in a network.

Robotica
Robotica is an installation using controlled autonomous players, robots that navigate their own space to make music and visuals. As they move around they trigger a database of sounds which are played dependent on the position in space. The movement of the robots also controls live dynamic data from the outside of the city to create the visuals. Live web feeds from around the city are projected into the installation space, via a series of projectors. These images are live real time live updated 3d models which are controlled by the movement of the robot.collection:2005 |

Series of six multi sound environments by stanza. Lots of built in sounds and layers. soundscraper ...... 1999 - 2000
These works are an audio visual synthesis. These works in this series are between 200 - 230k. Much larger than most works I usually place online. The expense is due to the heavy sound layering and multichannel sounds in the soundscraper series. All of which are different in the six pieces in this series. You can click through areas and also drag with the mouse down to move through three d.

The idea is to go deeper into analogies for the organic identity of the city. Inner City is an audio visual, interactive, internet art, experience. The micro city becomes an organic networks of grids and diagrams. The form and content of this work is a visual world of the city and its structure. Networks of information technology, are contrasted with organic networks and city networks. The project fuses the sounds of specific places.The sounds of language impose a rhythm that the visual narrative can interact with.
