While doing my research I found many interesting and inspirational examples but I can't point any that influenced my idea (although I'm sure that people do stuff like this) 
It may be because all examples I found seem to be much more experimental and creative than my own. 
Between artists I was looking at there was few extraordinary ones. One of them is definitely Golan Levin.

Golan Levin develops artifacts and events which explore supple new modes of reactive expression. His work focuses on the design of systems for the creation, manipulation and performance of simultaneous image and sound, as part of a more general enquiry into the formal language of interactivity, and of nonverbal communications protocols in cybernetic systems. Through performances, digital artifacts, and virtual environments, often created with a variety of collaborators, Levin applies creative twists to digital technologies that highlight our relationship with machines, make visible our ways of interacting with each other, and explore the intersection of abstract communication and interactivity. Levin has exhibited widely in Europe, America and Asia.

For more inspiration look at Levin's website:

The next artist which work impressed me is Zachary Liberman.
Zachary Lieberman is an American artist and computer programmer. His work uses technology in a playful way to break down the fragile boundary between the visible and the invisible. Lieberman cooperates with Golan Levin and together created installations ”Remark” and “Hidden Worlds” that presented interpretations of what the voice might look like if we could see our own speech. Other Lieberman's work: concert performance “Messa Di Voce”, installation “Drawn” which recently won awards in the Ars Electronica and CYNETart competitions. Lieberman has held residencies at Ars Electronica Futurelab, Eyebeam, Dance Theater Workshop, and the Hangar Center for the Arts in Barcelona.
Most recently, he helped create visuals for the facade of the new Ars Electronica Museum, wrote software for an augmented reality magic trick, and helped develop an open source eye tracker to help a paralyzed graffiti artist draw again.

Lieberman is co-creator of openFrameworks, an open source C++ toolkit for creative coding. He teaches at Parsons School of Design.

Ryoji Ikeda's work is just mind blowing. I uploaded one of his performances before but he is the one that should be mentioned here again.

Japan’s leading electronic composer and visual artist Ryoji Ikeda focuses on the essential characteristics of sound itself and that of visuals as light by means of both mathematical precision and mathematical aesthetics. Ikeda has gained a reputation as one of the few international artists working convincingly across both visual and sonic media. He elaborately orchestrates sound, visuals, materials, physical phenomena and mathematical notions into immersive live performances and installations.

The most famous projects: 'datamatics' (2006), 'test pattern' (2008), 'spectra' (2001), 'cyclo.' (2000). 
He performed and exhibited worldwide including Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne; MIT, Boston; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Sónar Festival Barcelona; Tate Modern, London; Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin; Auditorium Parco della Musica, Roma; lCC, Tokyo; Art Beijing; Göteborg Biennale; Mutek Festival, Mexico; Le Fresnoy, Tourcoing; Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media; Le Laboratoire, Paris; Museum of Contemporary Art Tokyo; Ikon Gallery, Birmingham; Singapore art Museum; Crossing the Line Festival, New York; Ars Electronica Center, Linz; Grec Festival, Barcelona; Aichi Triennale, Nagoya; Palazzo Grassi, Venezia; Armory Park Avenue, New York; Barbican Center, London; Museo de Arte, Bogota; Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin; Laboral, Gijon; Festival d’Automne,Paris, as well as electronic music festivals and small DJ clubs.

There is a sketch of the exhibition space where my installation will be shown and some samples of my work which will be projected through pure data.











It's time to start my own project. 
It would be great to play in Pure Date and create some colourful visualisation but I don't feel that my knowledge of the program is strong enough so I have to to go back to my initial idea. 
I was thinking about creating a slide show projection of my work using Pure Data software. It would be four movies presenting my work from different artistic fields put in one in Pure Data and controlled on the keyboard. All work is my own and include a digitised version of my drawing, painting, graphic, sculpture and photography, graphic design and animation. This solution could be very useful in exhibition case when the artist is usually limited by the exhibition space. Projection like this allows you to present a wider range of your artistic activity. All art work would be put into slide show in iPhoto and exported as a QuickTime movie then placed in one folder together with pd file.

Test Pattern by Ryoji Ikeda


This latest audiovisual work from Ryoji Ikeda, presents intense flickering black and white imagery, which floats and convulses in darkness to a stark and powerful, highly synchronised soundtrack.
Through a real-time computer programme, test pattern converts Ikeda's audio signal patterns into tightly synchronised barcode patterns on screen. The velocity of the moving images is ultra-fast, some hundreds of frames per second, so that the work provides a performance test for the audio and visual devices, as well as a response test for the audience's perceptions.
Test Pattern is the third audiovisual concert in Ikeda's Datamatics series, an art project that explores the potential to perceive the invisible multi–substance of data that permeates our world.
Taking various forms: installations, live performance and recordings - Test Pattern acts as a system that converts any type of data (text, sounds, photos and movies) into barcode patterns and binary patterns of 0s and 1s. The project aims to examine the relationship between critical points of device performance and the threshold of human perception, pushing both to their absolute limits.

LivingSculpture 3D module system by WHITEvoid
The “LivingSculpture 3D modular system” is the latest addition to the PHILIPS “LivingSculpture” product family.WHITEvoid designed a modular plug and play OLED system that allows for infinite variations in layout and arrangement of a ceiling or wall lighting installation. The highly flexible system consists of an online configurator to create and order the individual arrangement, modular hardware system and an iPad controlled light animation application.

I know that this example is probably irrelevant to my project but I had to include it to my research as an inspiration... it's simply beautiful!
