TITLE + Repercussion
TEAM + Carla Diana
DESCRIPTION + Repercussion.org is a collection of on-screen virtual instruments designed for live performance and online user exploration. Rhythms and musical phrases can be dynamically composed and altered based on the arrangement of objects on the screen.
The collection is a showcase for the visual representation of freely-formed musical compositions. The project aims to be engaging enough to encourage the viewer to experiment, while being sophisticated enough to allow for a great deal of variation in the sound being created. The actual musical compositions are generated in real-time from a library of pre-recorded midi-based sounds, employing algorithms to map the on-screen graphics to characteristics of the sound arrangement such as pitch, tempo and volume. The graphics were designed with a wide audience in mind, such that the concepts represented are accessible to a viewer regardless of his level of musical training, while at the same time matching the artist's idea of a basic kit of musical instruments for “jamming”: some drums, some melodies, a way to create chords, strings, etc.. To be available to the largest online audience, Macromedia Flash was chosen as the medium.

TITLE + Light Sleeper
TEAM + the people at loop.ph
DESCRIPTION + This is a pretty interesting invention to check out, and it's really amazing that they can make inanimate objects that seem to have sensory reaction. There's curtains that respond to light, a blanket that illuminates in a breathing rythm, and this audial wallpaper (as described below).
"A traditional textile heritage is celebrated with flocked wallpaper that comes to life as it reacts to ambient noise levels. The louder the space the brighter the wallpaper glows. It explores the experience of human presence and action having a tangible effect on space and provides a direct and analogue reflection of this by addressing the point where ambient space ends and surface begins. A new depth and language is brought to otherwise dormant decorative materials that simply surface and contain space."

TITLE + World Power
TEAM + the people at Knife Party
DESCRIPTION + The people at Knife Party have taken a nod from the likes of Voskuil, Domela and Elkin when putting together this message of anti-corporatism. Think political propagandist posters of the early 1900's, but in motion.

TITLE + Obsessive Comsumption
TEAM + the people at Kate Bingaman
DESCRIPTION + What did you buy today? The neurotic documentation of consumerism that focuses on our modern culture of shopping and how we are what we buy. Everything we buy. Chocolate bear claws and all.
Article from the reader about her thesis show: "Packed side-by-side upon a wall, ceiling to floor, her hundreds of glassine envelopes have an effect not unlike those ridiculous statistics about the average American eating 91 pounds of bacon each year and waiting 54 hours in traffic. Only here, you see the statistics. You smell the bacon."
