Work in progress from Chorus of Lungs project by Tulip Theory (Maria Lantin and Leila Sujir). Background video is ocean waves from Vancouver. Lung videos are pelicans on the Bow River, and one of cherry blossoms in Vancouver. All shot stereoscopically. The pelicans were shot with two Sanyo FH1. The others were shot with a Fujifilm W3.
Now working on adding interactivity.

Summary of Project
Breath I/O is a SSHRC funded investigation of breath (virtual and bodily) as it mixes with video and sound in immersive virtual environments....
A visualization of concept sharing within a small group deployed at Interactive Futures 2007. Participants send text messages which are mapped according the frequency from bottom to top. Each participant is represented as a Milkweed seed with as many strands as text messages submitted. The seeds float in a simulated wind and are lofted by their own text submissions as they intersect. Seeds with more strands have more levity. Seeds with similar submissions are...
This work explores the notion of cultural hybridity within technology and the social sphere, in particular with questions around the body and the state. Within the CAVE, Tulip Theory's intent is to explore a variety of constructions of poetic narratives using the video and audio signal within these 3D ephemeral virtual spaces, playing with "imbued" or subtle narratives which imply rather than tell a story, along with explorations where the narrative collapses, along with lateral...

Inspired by Gustav Klimt's painting Flowergarden (1905), flowerGarden is an interactive visualization of social networking and concept sharing occurring within a group of 30 to 80 individuals.
FlowerGarden was deployed at the Bodies in Play Summit, a conference held at the Banff New Media Institute in May...
Inspired by the ebb and flow dance of the Northern Lights that frequent the skies above The Banff Centre, this image is a visualization of the evolution of the Banff New Media Institute (BNMI) discourse in their first decade.
Word frequency statistics were generated using text analysis software that analyzed the corpus of texts in BNMI's 1993-2004 archives (websites, summit agendas, press releases, etc.). These frequencies were mapped both to word size and glow intensity. Large words...
