Tap Evol "The Setup" is a work comprised of two parts. Tap Evol is a machine vision system tapped into a database of video clips. Fragments of video from the database are mixed in real-time, generating an ever-changing stream of limitless duration. The selection of source video presented here -- "The Setup" -- is drawn from the genres of computer game cutscenes and television commercials. The mini-narratives and situations from these clips are broken apart and fed into the software engine, accruing residuals of intrigue and unresolved purpose.
The software is based on a previous work of mine, delter >>, which is itself based on MPEG_Play >> by Joerg Anders. All of this software is licensed under the GNU General Public License.
