Riverrun: New Video

August 9, 2014

This video shows the real-time crystalisation of a Riverrun trial experiment run at Medialab-Prado in Madrid. The fonts, size, colours and shape of the text have been set on the visualisation control panel and patterns of repetition are shown through changes in the colours of the text.

One of the first tests of the Riverrun visualisation platform, designed by Guillermo Casado.

On Thursday 29 July, 2010 from 16.30 pm until approximately 19.30 pm (Spanish local time) we will be presenting Riverrun and Colourwall at “Campus Party”. This represents the first public event for Colourwall the collective online drawing project. Participants will be able to collaborate in the making of a work.

Riverrun, the collective writing project, will run in parallel. Both experiments will be presented on large plasma screens during the event, so that visitors can see both the evolving images  and stories as video.

Our first public presentation and  experiment (March 19 2010) was reasonably successful. Aside from a few technical problems and issues with access to the stories, the event went well. In the first story, on the theme of “sustainable immobility”, 13 people participated. In the second, with no fixed theme, 14 people participated. The stories are posted below. It is now our mission to improve on this event by ironing out technical problems and making remote online access to the event simpler. We will perform a series of experiments as part of “La Noche de los Libros,” Madrid on 23rd April, 2010. This event will also take the form of an exhibition, given that the multiple stories in evolution at any one time will be presented on a series of large screens.

A video of the presentation given at the outset (about the artistic and scientific ideas behind Riverrun and how it works as an interdisciplinary experiment) can be found here: http://www.electrosmogfestival.net/documentation/
