Untitled
Above: Screenshot of the software Untitled.
The Untitled software, designed by me in max/msp, allows live performance with a video through voice and gesture. The software has been used numerous times by other artists (never by me) in live performance contexts.

Above are two videos of Alan Sondheim, Azure and Foofwa d’Imobilité employing the Untitled software. Below is the original text about the work:
Original dance by Azure and Foofwa modified with video editing software and software modification by Garrett Lynch. it is a film manque, a failed and absent film, an exhausted film, a trick film with no trick, a tired and stereotyped film, a typical film – but a film which hides a seduction, which looks elsewhere just when you think it’s looking, just when you think you’re looking, a film which cajoles the emptiness of the image, emptiness of any image, a film which promises, destroys promises, tends towards the memory of the destruction of speech, of enunciation, a film which is just there, as a project-projection. and thus a film which speaks with a tongue, your tongue, uttering those platitudes that constitute the film.
