This is the video by an artist called 45Hz , using a song by an artist called 37Hz . The song is called "Less Than Seven". The video demonstrates "Perplexing Poultry Philtre v1.0" programmed on Quartz on the Mac by 45Hz. The PPP concept is invented by science-fiction writer Rudy Rucker ( http://www.rudyrucker.com/blog/2007/04/07/amsterdam-van-gogh/ ) and is a popular public-domain filter in the future, that enhances reality to make it appear like Escher tilings ( http://www.mcescher.com/ ). PPP v1.0 also puts in practise concepts developed by Finnish Computer Music Pioneer Erkki Kurenniemi ( http://www.frif.com/new2004/fut.html ). One of his ideas was "Personal Communicator" represented in 1985, special eye-ware that includes a powerful computer, local-area network, microphones and earplugs, and high-resolution cameras and eye-projectors, that allows real-time modification of reality. The concept of reality modification appears also in a recent sci-fi published by Charles Stross "Accelerando" ( http://www.accelerando.org/reviews/ ), where the future superhero Mandfred Macs extends his intelligence with computer-spectacles. The starting scene curiously takes place in Amsterdam - the same place, where Rudy Rucker gave his speech on "Psipunk" - the next step of telephatic communication right in the quantum level. Original realtime capture of the speech was made by Luc Sala/Mindlift and can be viewed on YouTube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_bYYpiQNg4 ). PPP v1.0 generalizes a bit of the PPP concept to allow input from camera and files, and not focusing just on tiling patterns, since there are many other enhancements that yield aesthetic values, too. There are also many limitations one needs to take in account to realize PPP technology that will run on the nowadays computer platforms, and at the moment PPP Technology is more suitable for video postproduction usage than for personal reality enhancement.
