Ever wonder about life in the pack? Through the innovative use of
technology, these two award-winning artists deliver the lives of wolves
to the doorstep of our senses. Through the Eye of the Wolf pairs Bill
Tomlinson's internationally acclaimed AlphaWolf, an interactive
simulation of the social lives of wolves, with Sam Easterson's
astonishing digital footage of wolves, captured through his "embedded"
micro-recording systems.=20
=20
AlphaWolf is a poetic and scientific exploration of the emergent social
order of a wolf pack, from the perspective of an individual pup trying
to find his role in the group hierarchy. With the simple interface of
your own voice, you howl at other wolves in the pack to help your pup
learn the behaviors that will establish its social order. Bill
Tomlinson's AlphaWolf has been featured on Alan Alda's public television
special, "Scientific American Frontiers," and comes to the Beall fresh
from a successful international tour of leading electronic arts venues,
festivals and awards-including Grand Prize in the Interactive Category
of the 2002 Keio University Digital Art Awards, and Honorary Mention in
the Prix Ars Electronica 2002, SIGGRAPH 2001, and the new projects
showcase at E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2001.
