Triptych: Ambient Landscapes is a three-screen video installation featuring two earlier videos by Jim Bizzocchi (Cycle and Winterscape) and a new computationally-generated video piece.  Sound and music for the generative video is produced live using software (musebots) created by Arne Eigenfeldt. The musebots receive information from the video as it is generated and adjust their composition and playing accordingly.

The work was exhibted at the Surrey Art Gallery in British Columbia, February 24, 2018-January 27, 2019.

This work involves contributions from a number of individuals and institutions that the artist would like to thank.
