Jasper Streit

Born in the swiss alps, having lived the first years without electricity, now based in Sydney- new media artist Jasper Streit is now surrounded by the hum of technology.

Jasper?s recent works address the psychology of human interfacing in interactive technologies, specifically the anthropomorphism of the machine. His career has been eclectic to say the least, from working as a systems analyst for a software development company to scoring a film, his time is now being spent at the University of Western Sydney?s school of contemporary arts.

Jasper Streit Program Notes
This performance will concentrate on time manipulation and the effect on audience driven work. The piece will be performed on a laptop using it?s built in microphone as stimulus as well as keyboard input from the performer. The basis for the composition is for a series of sine tones played together cancelling and re-enforcing each other making slightly rhythmical patterns.

There are alot of ?frozen? buffers in the piece where playback does not travel in any expected direction, rather analysing the other sounds in the piece for cues. The result is a slightly minimal, grainy, ambient soundscape moving slowly through time.
