TurntablistPC
This is an interactive Art installation from Mogens Jacobsen.



This oddly device is part of an ongoing art project, allowing users to control the turntable over the Internet. The amount of effect the user can have on the deck is controlled by the location of the user in relation to the TurntablistPC. This made me consider other forms of interaction to control the turntable, the presence of viewers around the installation, their numbers and movement having some effect. If there was a couple of decks, what possibilities would there be of mixing the two records together. Further thought led to using mp3s instead of vinyl, as this would allow users to have a way of choosing what tune would be played. Sensors could detect the location of viewers in the room, the density and position would determine what tune is picked from a database, for how long it's played etc.


Inspired by the practice of listening to the body to diagnose illness, the Sonic Body is an audio-installation that uses interactive technology to create an orchestra of the human body.


This installation was part of the recent Brighton Digital Festival, in which viewers were immersed inside the a representation of the human body, and heard bodily sounds gathered from by such instruments such as a stethoscopes and hydrophones.
“The looped results (of the sonic body) are addictively danceable mutations of minimal techno. As science looks ever outward, it seems culturally significant that such alien music would transmit from the internal network of our very bodies.” David Michael Perez, from My Body, My Discotech, review of the Sonic Body in Rhizome.
