Exhibitionįractal Film is designed to be shown as a gallery video installation in a dark room on a large projection HD screen with quality sound, in a cinema-like atmosphere. It is a collaboration between video artist Delphine Doukhan and generative artist Antoine Schmitt. The result is an infinitely variable way of looking at a given scene.įractal Film articulates the concepts of generative art with the language of cinema. At each scene occurrence, the camera chooses one rule at random and follows it. Some of these rules explicitly leave freedom of movement to the camera, within certain limits. To do so, it follows written rules of movement, defined by the authors, and drawn from cinema language, from animal behavior, from mathematics and physics. At exhibition time, a software-based camera, designed and written by Antoine Schmitt, navigates by zooming inside this source video material to explore and display of the scene in infinitely various ways. This very precisely choreographed scene was shot in very high definition (5K) at eight different angles. The scene, written and shot by Delphine Doukhan, is a short but complex drama with multiple plot levels, a wordless burlesque huis clos involving six characters during a reception. Although in a loop, it is never seen with the same angle, the same camera position, movement and behavior. Projected in large format, the short cinematographic scene plays, over and over. The generative video installation Fractal Film proceeds to an exhaustion of the view on a given scene : an autonomous programmed camera explores and shows us the same scene indefinitely and always differently. Additionally results of other measurement in data networks and in the Internet will be presented.Specific program, computer, videoprojector We will show results achieved by application of this approach on measured video traffic. One of them, the so called pox diagram, will be applied. There are several methods to find out fractal properties of data and video traffic. More knowledge is needed to understand reasons for the fractal properties and to model them in order to design networks, services and even applications with regard to it. Understanding and modeling the fractal behavior is a new research challenge. This leads to difficulties in buffer dimensioning and in traffic control schemes. They are: 1) no smoothing effect while traffic is multiplexed and, 2) unpredictable burst lengths. Fractal behavior has serious consequences for the modeling, design and operation of packet switched networks like ATM. Fractals can be found in the load profile of data and video traffic, too. Fractals are also called self-similar, because they show the same picture when looking at them in different scales. It is created by random collisions with space objects. Fractals can be found in nature everywhere, for instance the surface of the moon is a fractal, where the motif of craters is repeated in a scale from inches to miles. The motif of a fractal can be a feature influenced by chance. Fractal Behavior of Video and Data TrafficĪ fractal is a function or a process in which an identical motif repeats itself on an ever diminishing scale.
