We were very happy with the proposal of Andre to costumize their webcam sowe could use a usb camera at Suspensa.
The manual seemed easy:

Swapping between surveillance cameras
Comments Off
This time in De Pianofabriek we had the permission to connect objscrs to one of the surveillance cameras in the matrix room. During the entire week we could switch permanently between the ‘stage’ and ‘the patio’, which caused a lot of confusion in our heads in the first place.

Cyclos & co
Comments Off
The camera works fine with infrared lights now, thanks to help by Guillermo Casado (Fotograma, Paris), Michael Janssen & Gregor Van Mulders (De Pianofabriek, Brussels).
For this particular Poitiers-set-up, the lights we needed could not be provided by the festival, so we went with yet another solution proposed by David, the local light technician. We used:
– two cyclos with punched filters (1×120 + 1×027)
– 2 infrared strips that were costumized by Wendy & Matthias to illuminate the corners. Look at their report here.

Set-up
Comments Off
The question that kept the technicians occupied for some time, was how to hang the camera high enough with a clear vision without having to remove beamers and spots that are necessary for the other performances. This is the festival spirit, there is no way that can move ‘the tower’ in between 2 performances.

!Co LAPse KoDe is a research around the F/LOSS motion tracking software objscrs, led by Mangrove-Tentactile and Constant, with the support of De Pianofabriek Kunstenwerkplaats and Vlaamse Gemeenschapscommissie.
The research started after our experience with the creation process of Kaleidoscope.
