Profile
Kyle Mcdonald
Researching on the synchronization between sound and code, he seeks knowledge of conversion, contextualization, and similarity. Having studied philosophy and computer science, he aims to make complex processes and structure more playful and easier to use. During the fall of 2011, he was a visiting researcher for the Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media for the guest researcher program at the YCAM Interlab.
Starting with Open Frameworks, he is known for his vigorous participation in open source art engineering projects, such as creating libraries that enable users to use various functions from high quality image processing and computer vision libraries. Over these past few years, these technologies have been used at first for pattern projection technology, but have been later used with conjunction with the Microsoft Kinect sensor to solve the problems related to 3D scanners.
The artwork based on cameras vary from very structured to those that rhetorically ask questions of conventional matters.
Nosaj Thing
Gaining attention as the producer of Kendrick Lamar and the remixer of Radio Head, Flying lotus, the xx, and remix on the Phillip Glass project that was directed by Beck, Nosaj Thing is gaining popularity as a producer and magician that crosses the border of the LA beat scene.
