NOISE CONTROL
2025
Interactive Live Visual Installation
Developed during Modular Media Programming
This project explores the creation of live visuals through a custom vvvv patch with MIDI control. Designed for performances, exhibitions, or installations, the system can be used with any display or projection setup. For the first presentation of the installation, the visuals were mapped across four stacked tube TVs, combining digital complexity with analog character, and fully controlled via a Korg nanoKONTROL 2 MIDI controller.
The patch includes two generative noise structures – Perlin and WorleyFast – along with a range of filters and effects. Users can switch between structures and manipulate parameters such as size, speed and colors. Additional effects include Displace, Edge, Dots, Kaleidoscope, and CartesianToPolar, each adjustable in real time.
The result is a flexible visual instrument that merges generative design with tactile control – an evolving system for exploring rhythm, structure, and noise across different mediums.
