what

This is a slideshow surveying the entire exhibition starting, in chronological order, with 'cubes', 2016, and ending with 'High Park Branches', 2024. I have also included all of the wall cards in this video. You will, of course, have to pause the video to read them.

From April 12 to April 28th Back Lane Studios in the Roncesvalles area in Toronto, I presented a show called 'what', that featured the paintings and media art that I have produced over the past decade and particularly within the past six years, focusing on material drawn from High Park. The centerpiece of the show was an interactive installation called 'High Park Branches' featuring proportionally accurate computer generated 3D models of branches that I found randomly lying on the ground in High Park over the past half year. Through participant interaction, the branches were scattered about by winds in a virtual environment to form final images from which prints and paintings (https://things.robgillthings.net/collections/high-park-branches) and audio albums (https://robgillthings.bandcamp.com/) were made. You can see the final results on the largest wall in the gallery.

The accompanying audio is from this album: https://robgillthings.bandcamp.com/album/high-park-branches-6-intstallation-playback-orchestral-2 which is a recording of a session with the interactive software described above.

The software was written by me in C++/OpenFrameworks, the audio was handled by SuperCollider, the 3D modelling was done in Blender, and the sensor used was a Kinect.
