Harvestworks is pleased to present composer and video/sound artist David Stout
who has been selected to receive our new Interactive Technology Project
Residency. This one-year Fellowship is funded through special grants from
the Rockefeller Foundation and the National Endowments of the Arts David
will discuss his current project to create a synthetic eco-system now in
the early stages of development at Harvestworks He will also present video
excerpts from, (1) "Splinters and Assaults (2001)" - a surround screen
text/sound cycle for five synchronized DVD players, (2) "NoiseField (2003)"
- an interactive video-sound environment comprised of a series of networked
computers forming a single real-time recursive system, (3) "SignalFire
(2003)", - a video-sound performance exploring interactive techniques to
generate sound and image from a digitally generated stream of video noise
(television snow). "SignalFire" has been presented at the Viper Festival -
Basel, Audio Art Festival - Krakow, The Back-Up Festival - Weimar, ZKM -
Karlsruhe, and STEIM - Amsterdam. "NoiseField" has been nominated for The
International Media Art Award. A documentary on this work will be broadcast
on German Suedwest - TV, French ARTE and on Swiss Television DRS.

David Stout is a video/sound artist, director, and performer who studied
with Ed Emschwiller and Bill Viola Currently performing and exhibiting with
Woody and Steina Valsulka, his work in electronic media is a synthesis of
music, sound, performance art and digital imaging. His productions have
taken a variety of forms including single channel video, mixed media
installations, electro-acoustic scores for stage and screen, and large
scale theatrical events that emphasize multi-screen video projection asan
extension of performer, audience and environment.
