Passage for Francis

Conceptualized as a new media funeral rite-of-passage by Robert Mulder and his father, Dr. H.F. Mulder, “Passage for Francis” integrates abstract animation into a cardiac Doppler audiogram to create a flow of geometrical shapes & patterns. Generated and controlled in real time as inspired by the music, this unique concept merges themes from biology, medicine, and art into a stunning study of rhythm and “Panta Rei” (everything flows). This piece was performed at Dr. H.F. Mulder’s funeral in November 2007.
