Hydra Code Builder & Generator
Graphical interface to procedurally generate Hydra code via the selection of visual inputs and modifiers; these continuously pass through a neural network, modelled to provide parameter inputs for endless visual manipulation. In turn, the code can be used to alter movements viewed from a live camera feed.

Recommended use in Chrome.
Best practices chat visualiser
The chat visualiser distributes snippets of spoken audio from taken from a series conversational videos where the artists talked about their creative practice entitled, “Best practices chat”. A total of 860+ audio samples are mapped across a latent space that can be navigated to “remix” the conversation. Dimensionality reduction is achieved using UMAP and t-SNE embeddings, which can be compared inside the interactive demo.

Neural Synthesis model explorer
To re-synthsize digitally synthesised interactive audio with another instrument or a combination of other instruments. Participants would first control the original audio through their movements, and then the system would play back the re-sythsised audio.
