Sponsored work 1999   Abstracted Cisms   PRESENTATION January 2001, performance April 2001 PRODUCER Kathryn Alexander, DUS, Dept. of Music ASSOCIATE PRODUCERS Anne Kelsey, ITS/ACS, Madeleine Shapiro, Yale Dance Alliance, Pilobolus   The creation of a multimedia performance using interactive technologies which allow "...real time digital signal processing" so that "the performers are able to manipulate the shape, pitch, color, spatializations, and direction of sounds and images in performance." Next, a web site version of the environment would be implemented; and finally, a performance would be mounted at the DMCA and NYC's modernworks.   Oswalds Triptych   PERFORMANCE April 1999 PRODUCERS Max Dana (Theater Studies '99); Anthony Young (Film Studies '99) ASSOCIATE PRODUCERSDavid Heetderks (Music '99); Ken Ueno (Music '99); Mike Levinson (Music '00); Terah Mahler (Arch. '99)   The project consisted of a live performance that was broadcast as a series of video and audio streams over the campus Intranet. Users viewed the performance via a web page that allowed them to interact with both the performance and other members of the online audience in a way that incorporated them into the story itself, thereby transcending the role of spectator. Taking visible action while remaining invisible, the audience became an active agent in the performance.   Richard II   PERFORMANCE March 1999 PRODUCERS Clayton Binkley (Art '99); Yusuf Hayes (Mathematics '99) ASSOCIATE PRODUCER Hrishikesh Hirway (Art '00)   A live performance of the Yale Dramatic Association's presentation of Shakespeare's Richard II was recorded as well as interviews with the director, composer, lighting designer, set designer/ video director, highlighting the interdisciplinary nature of their roles. This material was edited together as a linear program for the Yale Cable network and as a non-linear website using streaming files.   Shakespeare's Twelfth Night An American Sign Language Translation   PRESENTATION November 1999, performance September 2000 PRODUCER Peter Novak, Dean, Trumbull College, Faculty, Theater Studies ASSOCIATE PRODUCER Tim Barringer, Faculty, Art History ASSOCIATES Megan Magnum (SS, School of Art); Terry Giang, (TC, '01); Peter Cook, Guest Artist; Rebecca Rugg (Grad-Drama); Scott Braudt (Grad-Drama)   The project first translated William Shakespeare's Twelfth Night into American Sign Language by, deaf actors. The resulting performance was then digitzied and recorded on interactive CD-ROMs and DVD disks successful project Currently the performance is being mounted for a full scale production in Philadelphia in conjunction with the Amaryllis Theatre Company and the CD-Roms are being prepared as teaching tools for area educators.   Wild Cards: A Game of Orgman   EXHIBITION October 1999, presentation February 2000 PRODUCER Keller Easterling, Faculty, School of Architecture ASSOCIATE PRODUCERS Max Marmor, Art & Architecture Library; Susan Williams, Visual Resources Collection   Wild Cards is a web site and exhibition funded by Yale's Digital Media Center and the Yale School of Architecture. It examines a resonant set of global commercial organizations (AMC Theaters, Wal-mart, Schipol Group, Arnold Palmer Golf and Starbucks) that are exporting "real estate products" like superstores, entertainment centers and superhubs. Although architects often either lament the pervasiveness of these formats or long to control them aesthetically, this study chooses to index their physical components as well as their critical procedural and temporal dimensions. It treats these protocols as "sites" in a giant volatile game -a game of orgman which though unlikely to absorb planning prescriptions, is responsive to clever cross-matching of cultural components and design wild cards. The project was presented both at a special showing in the A&A building, and a project presentation at the DMCA.   The Collective Billboard   INSTALLATION June-July 1999, presentation November 1999 PRODUCER Melissa Brown (Grad-Art) ASSOCIATE Producers David Reinfurt (Grad-Art) , Jim Hart (Grad-Drama) ASSOCIATE Dean Sakamoto   The project explored public notions of change and reversal using interactive media. A futuristic landscape was presented on a downtown billboard, and public opinion was solicited via web and telephone. The billboard then changed to reflect the public responses. (The project aroused considerable interest in the neighborhood and the local press.)   Virtual BAC   PRESENTATION November 1999 PRODUCER David Lavorgna, CSS, BAC ASSOCIATE PRODUCER Randall Hoyt (Grad-Art)   The project produced an interactive multimedia 'virtual gallery exhibition' which was rendered using an existing 3D model of the Yale Center for British Art. Digital canvases were created and hung on the walls of the graphical interface of Louis Kahn's architectural concept. The viewer was able navigate through the virtual gallery. The project will be a CD-ROM distributed to schools and be available in the BAC Museum Shop."

Sponsored work   The heart of the DMCA lies in the work of the innovative artists and researchers who are sponsored by the center. Many of them work daily on their projects within the DMCA's 149 York Street Facility; others use DMCA equipment in the field or use DMCA printing and video production Resources during the last phases of their work. Funding is available for annually selected project proposals.   Click 1999 or 2000 to see descriptions of and links to past projects sponsored by the DMCA.
