TY - ART TI - The Exquisite Mechanism of Shivers AU - Bill Seaman AU - Suhanya Raffel AU - Andrew McLennan AU - Paul McKercher AU - Analiese Cairis AB - "The Exquisite Mechanism of Shivers" "explores the construction of an audio/visual sentence with 10 segments. Each segment has a related piece of music, a specific spoken piece of text and time-based section of video. The template of the work has 33 variables for each modular section of the audio/visual sentence - thus the linear work is comprised of 33 sentences. Interactive versions of the work enable the user of the system to substitute different modular variables and generate new audio visual 'sentences'. These substitutions always facilitate the generation of a grammatically correct sentence. Because each of these modules is poly-valent in terms of their meaning, the work is always emergent. One can also use automated chance methods to derive new audio/visual sentences." -- Bill Seaman C3 - CD-ROM PY - 1991 LA - English M3 - Interactive Installation UR - https://the-next.eliterature.org/works/1028/0/0/ DB - The NEXT Y2 - 2025-04-03 ER -
