Re: Doug's gratuitous introspective.... / Live Insect Looping?

....what I really wonder is if
someone has used live insects in a live performance setting. It would be
like me bringing my USB enabled microscope, and showing real protozoa
and amoebae on an overhead projector while I was playing...damn, I wish
I could afford to do that....
----
Or better... detect the move (X-Y coordinates) of the beasts in the range 
defined by the overhead circle and use this to CC some midi controlled 
value 
(filters, pitch,...).
I think someone (from the nord modular list?) made such an experiment with 
an I-cube, a camera, a goldenfish and a water tank.
Cheaper is to use some program like sounder (www.sounder.com) which allow 
the audience to "link" an image to the sound produced. You can even use 
any 
picture to represent the bouncing objects, so use a bug if you want to ;-)
If someone has other tools in this "trend" I'm interested.
Creating image from sound (VJing) is cool but improvising or generating 
sound from on an image is more interresting I think.

Just my 2c,

Ben.
