Born in Frankfurt, 34, kind of a sleeping vvvv-Dinosaur, former AV-Realtime "earlyBird"..
focused in alternate AR-/ NUI-Devices ( touch + non.. ) in love with prototyping Surfaces,
after leaving Wiesbaden ( Germany ) now living in beautiful amazing -Seaside of Berlin-
using vvvv since the first public Release Version 3.1 ( 2002 / A.i.R. @ MESO, Frankfurt )

most with own prototyped " Theremin-Devices".. + Vjing since 1998 + around 30- 40 vvvvClips,
2004-2008 i´ve helped to build up the Opensource " SHARE GLOBAL" NETWORK ( from NYC )
as the 2nd-3rd node of today +-30 cities worldwide, now it´s time to open my private folder ..

/* for that, please call me: ENUM |

http://enum-visuals.com/ ( .. Starting in Spring 2012 * )
http://friends-of-tracking-data.org/ ( Global Release: Summer 2012 * )
http://share.dj/global ( WIESBADEN / my Tribute to Nam June Paiks "GlobalGroove" )

this project is called: "play_Jelly" ( 2004 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1452741 ( lowres. )
play_Jelly ( 2004 ) is a 3 level "Particle System" ( with 20.000 Quads )
using an IR-frame( xy )plus an Upgrade ( z-depth ) in the
middle..

This Project was focused in a kind of my first touchless Interface,
as an interactive musicvideo, using an IR-Controller ( ELO TOUCH ),
modified with another z-depth in the centre of the frame,
to navigate the Particle System >WITHOUT< touching ..

Controller: IR-/ Infrared Device xyz-depth )
Audio: http://lastfm.de/music/Jan+Jelinek
Software: VVVV / ( )

1rst audiolevel was mapped for the watermove.. fft )
2nd audiolevel was mapped to the jellyfisch.. fft )
3rd input ( IR-Touchframe ) mapped to xyz-depth ..

the next project is called: " t4 Cam" ( 2004 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1452925 ( lowres. )

this Prototype was a handmade Camera, whith a built-in "Color-analysing-System" ( vvvv, without fft )

The Camera ( t4_ / Hommage to Tamás Waliczky* ) is a physical device, fixed on the body of an 80's Polaroid, combined with an Highres VideoCam, a laserpointer & Display for the Orientation and a FLOCK OF BIRDS as the physical motiontracker mapped to an early vvvv patch for analysing colors in front of the Cam, made to transform the wireframes, synced to the given music of SOLVENT .. / to remote the ( handmade! ) '3D VISUAL' in Realtime via the physical flight over each color of the cables ..

/* my former Professor Tamás Waliczky ( from ZKM / http://www.waliczky.com/ )
he has suggested, for better prototyping this "tapedtrashtrackingtool.." ( t4Cam )

Motion Tracker: http://www.ascension-tech.com/products/flockofbirds.php
Audio: http://www.suctionrecords.com/solvent/
Software: VVVV / ( http://vvvv.org )

the next project is called: " WireworldCam" ( 2003 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1453055 ( lowres. )

This Project was a handmade musicvideo, while using the Movement

of my physical "Gamepad" ( sitting infront of my "3D-Television Setup" )
live recorded to an early DVD-Recording Hardware.

Note: every movement was added to another, plus toggles..
( further and further, for getting a real chaotic "Dynamic System".. )
1rst level = mapped to the toggles.. ( GamePad ) 2nd level = mapped to physical moves.. ( xyz-depth ) 3rd input = mapped to frequency/of music.. ( improvised + fft )

The 4th input was mapped to maintoggle Start: Logo Animation )
Presentation = using GamePad for "VisualMusic" ( 2003 )
Idea = love watching clouds in the Sky ( as "cloud pictures" )

Controller: Microsoft Sidewinder Game Pad ( Gamepad )
Audio: http://lastfm.de/music/Autechre
Software: VVVV / ( )

the next project is called: &quot 111 " ( 2005 / kind of Theremin Device )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1508156 ( lowres. )

This touchless Prototype is my "Hommage to the Technics MKII " ( Vinyl-Device )

and it`s made to play the different levels of the '4Channel mp3player' H²O-Remote
with the given vvvvj-patch inside ( 4 mp3s + the Visual together.. )

instead of using finalScratch, midi-controller, toggles etc.
using different levels of the users body-Resistance* ( 9V )

about the title: 1|1|1 spoken: one one one ( means 1:1:1 )
//////////// 1 CHN for audio,
/////////// 1 for the graphics
////////// 1 for the bodyfeeling: in Volt ( 9V )

The Claim: what you hear, is what you see, is what you feel ! ..
synced as 1 | intouch with data ! ( as liquid* data )

Controller: the Body Resistance ( User )
Audio: 3-4 levels together ( Sounddesign: i.e Noise )
Software: VVVV / ( )

IPTV = &quot Generative Network Television " ( 01 / 2004 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1503941 ( lowres. )

This Prototype was made to create an augmented ( AR-)Setup,

later having the first realtime "Interactive Television" @ my University,
as an earlyBird( again ) my former Professors don´t understood this,
long time before Youtube was starting, we could have a Realtime System
for our 1.4 Mio.EUR "Virtual Studio"( http://www.orad.co.il/ ) instead of using that
antiquated Non-Realtime "3D-MAX"( ORAD gave us ! ) together with an "own"
and "IP-based" Content Management Tool, collecting the 2D/3D-Animations
of our Students, they´ve made each Semester ..

Having the first IPTV_Vj-Channel but my Professors ignored this idea ) for that i was collecting ..

and have even recorded over around 70-80 Clips ( each 3-4 min.) for the first "IPTV-Server" i´ve build,
like Festival Documentations, Installations & Vj-Reels, streamed over a second level, using that both early
Real- & Apple-Broadcaster ( installed on different PCs, included a first "OnDemand" for mobile Devices.. )

Motion Tracker: "ORAD-Technology "( http://www.orad.co.il/ )
++ FLOCK OF BIRDS ( http://www.ascension-tech.com/products/flockofbirds.php )

Titel: GEN | TV = &quot Generative Network Television " ( 2004 - 2006 )
for that, i create the Claim: "GEN | TV is made to reboot MTV "

Streaming: Real Media PC ) / Apple Broadcaster MAC )
Software: VVVV IP-Server + OnAirDesign ) / 3D-MAX / MAYA / After Effects, ..
Set Design: 3D-Realtime, with "Chat over Video" ( while: IPTV-Streaming )
Status: offline ( Since November 2006 )

the floating vvvvvvvv~.. = &quot VVVV Live Patching " ( 2002 - 2004 )

VIDEO = http://vimeo.com/4676581 ( CTM 2004, Berlin / fft + lowres. )
DemoReel 2001-2004 = http://www.vimeo.com/1490997 ( 31x vvvvvvv~.. / lowres. )

This private Discipline was made to create improvised and draft Visuals, while the Dj is playing

his music, as a real spontaneous & impulsively music visualisation to increase my own Graphics, myself..
instead of the typical Problem at the "Picture+Sound-Synergy" Visual Artists allways trying to find the
perfect Sync only inside of the "Beatcount" as cold as clean that Visuals, electronic Music, CGI and /or
narrative "Character Animations" won´t make it better.

Long time ago ( vvvv without fft ) i was in love with some tracks i´ve looped as possible,
after hours testing each patch, with another music hours again, then changing, again & again..
for getting the right feeling about, balancing dynamic, speed or the color mood as open as possible,
then having "the Goal" for each Viewer he´s getting his own "Point of View" watching each selective
focused Element of the Graphics "headsynced" to the Non-Realtime Music ( outside of the recorded DVD ).

Suggestion: please having a &quot VVVV Live Patching Award" at Node2010 ( without fft, presets.. )
Software: VVVV / starting with the grey window( )

Import:SHARE GLOBAL = &quot Global Network Community" ( 2004 - 2008 )

VIDEO = http://www.vimeo.com/1496142 ( lowres. ) PICTURES = http://www.slide.com/r/RHlBBBiT3j_c-5ElcEA8yz0HTd5012UN?view=large ( Overview, Share Wiesbaden 2005 - 2008 )

This Project was founded 2001 in New York City by Barry Manalog,

Daniel Smith and GeoffGDAM. / GLOBAL TRAILER = http://www.vimeo.com/1496118 ( lowres. )

Inspired form the early VVVV-Community & the great NY-Share People,
my Intention - first to say - was focused in different levels, into "to share"
of my doings in Wiesbaden, bringing home that "Sons of FluXus.."-Community,
over 40 Years later, may call it re-starting in "FluXustown" as my own Hommage
to Nam June Paik ( and his GlobalGroove 1971-1974 ) while he was a Pioneer
of the Videoart ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nam_June_Paik ) and an early
member of FluXus 1962, together with Maciunas, Cage and others ..

FluXus = was the first international Community, for artists ..
after that 1964 he moved to New York City..

2nd level: let´s call it &quotOpen Source"..

"SHARE" now is one of the most important "Open Source-Communities" worldwide,
( founded 2001 ) as an early example before CreativeCommons.org ( i.e. CTM 2007 )
as one of the early OpenNetworks talking about "to open" Copyrights and using
Realtime Video*. Now we´re often invited to talk about us + Creative Commons
( i.e. MIT, in Boston / March 2007 or CTM, Clubtransmediale 2007 / Geneva .. )

VVVV from the beginning, since 1997 was focused in develop Software & prototype
Hardware, then 2002 MESO startet to open their Toolkit, as kind of "Open Source" ..
while keeping the core..

Today, for me, it´s funny to see the "share"-buttons @ Youtube, Vimeo and others ..

( cause: Youtube was founded over years later, in feb. 2005 .. )
SHARE GLOBAL NETWORK / TRAILER = http://www.vimeo.com/1496118 ( lowres. )

SHARE is an organization dedicated to supporting collaboration and knowledge exchange in new media communities. Local SHARE groups hold free, open jams and workshops in their communities. Participants bring their portable equipment, plug into our system, improvise on each others' signal and perform live audio and video. SHARE GLOBAL happens weekly to monthly in now over +-30 cities around the world.

SHARE WIESBADEN was the 2nd - 3rd Node on worlmap ( since 2005.. )
/ around May 2005 in Brooklyn, someone told me Montréal would start it global, too ..
