(#Glitch) Music for a Computer Classroom [#geekgirl]
Idea / design / programming: http://sergemaheu.com
In a classical music orchestra, there is a maestro conducting in front of the musicians, in some kind of Master-Slaves relation, the musicians following what the maestro is deciding. It reminds me to the way computer networks function, where the data flow and the communication is often made with this Master-Slaves configuration. The idea here is to repurpose the classic school computer classroom and to reinterpret the space following this inspiration. Could it become a space for sound and music instead of a place for teaching and individual student work? What the classroom has to offer in term of sound / visual: quite crappy projection system and sound system. But if we think outside the box, the classroom has 24 individual speakers system and 24 screens spread almost equally into the 3D space: the computers. Nice setup for cool interactive and gltichy projects.
