Abstract:

This is a report of research and some experimental applications of human-computer interaction in multi-media performing arts. The human performer and the computer systems perform computer graphic and computer music interactively in real-time. In general, many sensors are used for the interactive communication as interfaces, and the performer receives the output of the system via graphics, sounds and physical reactions of interfaces like musical instruments. I have produced many types of interfaces, not only with physical/electrical sensors but also with biological/physiological sensors. This paper is intended as an investigation of some special approaches: (1) 16-channel electromyogram sensor called “MiniBioMuse-III” and its application work called “BioCosmicStorm-II” performed in Paris, Kassel and Hamburg in 2001, (2) sensing/reacting with “breathing” in performing arts, (3) 8-channel electric-feedback system and its experiments of “body-hearing sounds” and “body-listening to music”.
