NoiseFold is a live cinema and interactive installation group founded by
interdisciplinary artist-performers, David Stout and Cory Metcalf.
Originally in residence at the College of Santa Fe, NoiseFold presented
their world premiere at the Festival Internationale d’Art Video in
Casablanca, Morocco in spring 2006. The duo utilize sensor activated
computer systems and complex audio-visual feedback models to synthesize a
mesmerizing array of bio-mimetic visual forms that generate sound. Critics
have described the result as “a powerful synaesthetic experience where
noise, music and image interact on a symphonic scale.” NoiseFold routinely
performs in wildly different contexts from concert halls, museums and
art-house film theaters to planetariums, and botanic gardens. Their
performances, which have included High Mayhem in Santa Fe, the UNESCO
Creative Cities Summit, the New York Electronic Arts Festival, Interactive
Futures in Victoria, BC and “Chinati We
ekend” in Marfa, Texas have garnered enthusiastic reviews and a growing
audience. Stout & Metcalf began their seminal work in Santa Fe, New Mexico,
renown as an art center and lesser known as the birthplace of Artificial
Life (A-Life). Currently the pair are developing several installation
projects including Archipelago, a distributed networked installation in the
form of a “live” artificial ecosystem.
