CONflict was the result of a collaboration with film maker Hugh McLean. Drawing on his film 'World without end' (2003), 14 stills were extracted and manipulated algorithmically using a modified Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma Game in MaxMSP/Jitter.
Sonically, the work uses a set of justly tuned sine tones based on the 18 tone tuning of 17th C harpsichord builder Joan Albert Ban (1597 - 1644).
The sound and visuals are both manipulated by the same algorithmic process, and when installed, the work is run from a laptop allowing the viewer to revisit the work afresh with each encounter.
CONflict was originally premiered as part of Project 2 in 2005. It was subsequently shown to critical acclaim as part of the Project 3 street cinema in the 2006 Adelaide Festival of Arts.
