Visual form, sound and physical light are generated and transformed live rather than assembled as separate media layers. ### City - Beijing URL: https://liuhao-art.com/works/city-beijing Year: 2011 Form: Interactive audiovisual work Summary: City - Beijing is an interactive audiovisual work constructed from documentary DV footage, bodily movement and environmental sensing. Sensors register light, temperature and humidity. These inputs transform moving footage and sound in real time through Max/MSP/Jitter, Csound. ### RNN Drawer / The Vintage Drawings URL: https://liuhao-art.com/works/rnn-drawer Years: 2019 / 2023 Form: Neural-network drawing experiment and virtual exhibition Summary: RNN Drawer began in 2019 as an experiment in machine-generated drawing. Written in Python and developed with TensorFlow, the project trained a recurrent neural network on several thousand images. The model did not converge successfully. It never became a stable, fluent image-generating system. It produced a group of incomplete and uncertain images that nevertheless appeared unexpectedly alive. In 2023, the surviving generated results were reorganised as the virtual exhibition The Vintage Drawings. ### Memory of Orchestra URL: https://liuhao-art.com/works/memory-of-orchestra Year: 2011 Form: Performative electroacoustic work for iPhone ensemble Summary: An iPhone ensemble reconstructs the collective form of the orchestra through personal computational devices, touchscreens, motion sensors, Max/MSP, Csound, score, gesture, and coordinated performance. ### eLive URL: https://liuhao-art.com/works/elive Year: 2010 Form: Performative real-time electronic work for five MIDI controllers Summary: Five trained performers use Bitstream 3X MIDI controllers and a dedicated Max/MSP stage instrument to generate, modify, and morph electronic sound entirely in real time. Listening and ensemble coordination are central performance techniques. ### i Touch the Moon URL: https://liuhao-art.com/works/i-touch-the-moon Year: 2010 Form: Interactive electroacoustic performance Summary: An iPod touch functions as the visible edge of a larger instrument formed by body, sensors, OSC, Max/MSP, Csound, real-time synthesis, granular synthesis, timbral morphing, modulation, and musical form. ## Independent software and music tools ### LH Rubbing URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-rubbing An analog-style iPad synthesizer whose distinctive Keyboard Rubbing interaction introduces vibrato and controls its rate and depth. ### XII URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/xii An experimental audiovisual work and app based on twelve-tone organisation, generative musical behaviour, real-time audio-reactive 3D graphics, and Wi-Fi MIDI output. ### LH Resistor URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-resistor An FM synthesizer with one-to-nine-voice unison, layered modulation, parallel low-pass, band-pass, and high-pass shaping, effects, and presets. ### LH Grey URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-grey An analog-style iPhone synthesizer with two oscillators, classic filter shaping, Unison, Chorus, Delay, and Reverb. ### LH Tuner URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-tuner A precision instrument tuner and temperament-aware tone generator supporting equal temperament, Pythagorean tuning, just intonation, transposition, and custom frequency assignment. ### LH Grain URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-grain A granular synthesis instrument for iPhone with built-in samples, waveform and sample-position control, frequency jitter, touch-based duration and density control, effects, OSC, and recording. ### LH Grain Pad URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-grain-pad An iPad granular synthesis instrument with two independent channels, eight amplitude envelopes, touch performance, OSC, recording, and an extensive effects system. ### LH XYZ URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-xyz An iPhone OSC sensor controller that transmits accelerometer and gyroscope data and includes human-activity recognition for six motion categories. ### TunerMetro URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/tunermetro A two-in-one tuner and metronome with pitch, cent, and level feedback, piano tone generation, tap tempo, beat settings, and background audio. ### LH Metronome URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/lh-metronome A functional metronome developed with Unreal Engine and presented inside a real-time 3D music-room environment. ### AI Style URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/ai-style An iPhone neural-network image style-transfer app with eleven visual styles and camera or photo-library input. ### PulseLoom URL: https://liuhao-art.com/apps/pulseloom A desktop control system documented on the official Apps and Systems page. ## Preferred terminology For generated visual work, use terms such as real-time visuals, generative visuals, real-time 3D rendering, rendered visual forms, or visual field. For DV and video-based work, use moving image, video footage, real-time video processing, or audiovisual system. ## Attribution Creator: Liu Hao / 刘昊 Official source: https://liuhao-art.com/
