Simple tones, buzzes and glitches were made visual using voltage controlled video synthesis and commited to miniDV.
These recordings are then made three dimensional by projecting them onto 10 surfaces of 4 rectinlinear forms. When a number of these recordings are played simultaneously, complete with audio, new rhythmic and harmonic, audio visual complexities emerge. A proprietary program written in Max/Msp randomly chooses files from a library with over 50 video clips, mixing different files together or several instances of the same file, in new combinations.
Each clip is approx 20mins in length, totaling 15hours of raw material. Combinations can be from 1 moving file with the others static, or at a frame rate as slow as 2fps, to 4 identical files offset in time or 4 individual files.

I suggest a corner placement for the installation as this hides the back surfaces from view.
However by adding a second projector the rear surfaces could be utilized with an additional box added to the centre back to balance the arrangement. The installation could then be viewd from 360degrees. Also as the projector is mounted at a high angle they could be approached without casting a shadow
Video and equipment list
1 or 2 XGA projectors standard lens 1.8 throw ratio
1 Mac running Max/Msp 5.1
4 or 5 White Box Card boxes 800mm x450x266 approx (overall size dictated by projector throw and distance from objects and can be scaled appropriately, the greater the distance the larger the objects)
1 pair powered speakers or Amp and 2 speakers with stereo input.
