Bill performs improvisational 3D computer graphics using his own custom-coded performance platform.

Having found realtime interactions with computers to be the only really interesting ones, he’s worked with loudspeaker arrays, multi-projector environments, MIDI and game controllers, GPUs (graphics processing units), and live camera feeds: combining many of these to synergistic effect.

Thibault has performed periodically since 1990 in the Bay Area in a variety of musical ensembles featuring improv, beat-driven electronics, rock, power and noise electronics, and solo contexts. He teaches Computer Science at CSU East Bay. His current work employs audio from live musicians to influence force-based 3D animated layouts of various network topologies.

IRL Carpet

IRL Carpet is an interactive installation that uses simple geometric heuristics for shot composition in an attempt to reveal filmmaking processes to the audience and isolate their emotional charges. The viewer is captured by a “depth camera” in a real-time and placed in sets built from 3D point clouds of the Mission district.
