audiovisual activities

The multimedia education and programming were one of my main activities in the last two years. I feel that my music and the audiovisual activities stayed in the background. I was just able to compose few new pieces or create some new graphics. Of course the design of the ‘Mental Games’ and VERIM is creative work. But still I am missing the contemplation of doing creative work. Several weeks ago I spent two days on recovering some ideas of fractal music generation combined with new possibilities of multimedia interactivity. I had to stop working further as I was overwhelmed by the first results and this would not be the right time for continuing intensively. I plan to combine it with already available system of generating quadraphonic sound from video frames. Somehow it reminds me of my dreams in Poland to create visuals to Beethoven’s 9th. Although it is exactly the way around this time I hope this is just only a symmetry which will appear in my future activities, perhaps connected with the term of psycho- interactivity.

Sometimes, when I observe the sky full of stars I ask myself, how much was I able to realize of my dreams. I often must admit that it is already beyond my expectations. Really? Two days ago before finalizing the draft for our patent attorney I accidentally opened a file containing a scan of my poem written as I was 16 or 17, called ‘Thoughts’.

Here is the part I looked at…

-Communication,

-Interpersonal feedback,

-Vibrations seen in sound,

-In colors and feelings,

-Senses wrapped, connected,

-Threads in a spider web

Thank you for reading my story.

Clinical research has been done on the use of auditory and visual stimulation to improve cognitive abilities in learning-disabled children as well as in the treatment of autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).^[18] However, lacking enough evidence to conclude that these treatments show efficacy, several studies indicate the potential to increase effects on IQ and reading levels in primary students (cite Olmstead, 2005), but also improvements in inattention and impulsiveness in children with ADHD (cite Siever).
