Since moving to its new downtown location, Scharff Weisberg Media Resource Center (SWIMRC) continues to be quite busy. Of particular note were a number of international high
profile Media arts projects highlighted by the well known Parisian exhibit by Aziz + Cucher:
Aziz + Cucher- Synaptic Bliss: VILLETTE, Paris A four-channel video and sound environment that "evokes the four
seasons as well as the cycles of life in a world halfway between organic and digital." The piece plays in an 18-minute loop. SWIMRC supplied 10-bit file conversion to Digital Betacam, DVD production and mastering for show-control, Dolby 5.1 surround sound editing and encoding.
Museum of Modern Art- Yoshio Taniguchi: Nine Museums This exhibition presents nine of Taniguchi's (the Architect of the new Moma) museum designs central to understanding his approach to architecture. The video portion of the exhibition is projected as a three-screen Watchout presentation with each projector showing a 720P synced HD-MPEG 2 File with a Dolbly 5.1 surround track. Editorial work along with HD-MPEG 2 and 5.1 Surround Sound encoding was performed at SWIMRC.
