In You Saw Me Tomorrow, Sachiko Hayashi introduces WiiSight, a real-time moving image improvisation technique she developed using a Nintendo Wii remote controller and Apple’s iSight webcam. All visual input in WiiSight is captured live through the laptop’s built-in iSight and processed in real time via Sachiko’s gestures using Max/Jitter, with no pre-recorded material involved. This integration of “live video” and “remote controller” creates a dynamic interplay between physical movement and visual manipulation, merging the two into a seamless confluence during live performance.

For Sachiko’s WiiSight visual improvisation, Magnus Alexanderson crates EAM soundscape using a looping technique with pre-composed sounds. The real-time interplay between the evolving soundscape and the WiiSight visuals forms the core focus of his performance.

WiiSight was developed in 2010 at USF in Bergen, where Sachiko was an artist-in-residence.
