Beat Box presents networked CAVE participants with a playful arena of interactive virtual sound machines. Each of three machines has a unique periodic duration and controls, respectively, percussion, ambient loops and bass sounds. Beat Box is virtual sonic chronometry as the environment is enveloped in keeping time with the sound machines. Participants cycle through sound selections and give voice to a time interval by connecting it to a thoroughly odd indigenous head. Each head represents a distinct moment in a sequence that contributes to the resultant delivery of the collective instruments. |
Beat Box will be exhibited September 1-6, 2001 at the Ars Electronica Festival in Linz Austria. The exhibition is called "Alive on the Grid" and participants include Electronic Visualization Laboratory, University of Illinois at Chicago, Interactive Institute-Tools for Creativity Studio, State University of New York, C³ Center for Culture & Communication, Institute for the Unstable Media University of Eindhoven and Indiana University's Advanced Visualization Laboratory. |
