Option one: Modular Synthesizer
Music instrument using I zero networks
Based on the framework of Internet Zero, the aim of the project is to
create a music generator using different inputs and using sound as
output. Sound, proximity, light, temperature and buttons will be used
to produce a small modular synthesizer.
Between digital and analog
The aim of the project is to play with the parameters that could be
obtained by the different inputs in the network, then with the range
of values create "playable" music and melodies. The synthesizer would
produce music with the change and manipulation of the inputs, in this
way the control of the interface is subjected to the behavior of the
environment and the user actions on it.
From analog to digital:
The modular synthesizer is a type of synthesizer consisting of separate specialized modules connected by wires (patch cords) to create a so-called patch. Every output generates a signal - an electric voltage of variable strength. Combining the signals generated by multiple modules into a common audio output allows a potentially infinite number of configurations, leading to a potentially infinite number of sounds. Wikipedia
I want to make each module based on internet zero
Materials
- MDF, Wood, Stainless Steel
- Internet zero nodes (t44 microcontroller)
1 input > receiving data
1 output > generating sound
Possibility of adding oscillator and LFO to add variations to the sound
Option two: Evolution of responsive environments
decentralized intelligence - emergent reality
50 years ago there was no Internet... technology was located in basic
aspects of human life like transportation, food and mechanical
industry, one way communication (radio, tv, etc). Industrialization
created the consumption society that nowadays seems to be exhausted.
The human kind has been trying to create an automated world that
would satisfy human needs with the less intervention of the man. This
inertia seems to be losing its strength, massive production is not
satisfying every need of humans (different cultures, realities, etc),
actually massive production is creating more problems than solutions.
Environmental hazards, economical and social inequality, cultural
affections, among others, are the consequences of the last century of
creation on man. We have been all participating in the creation of
our reality, in a personal, local, regional, global and universal
way; we are small neurons or servers of a whole network of energy.
Internet appears as a representation of how our non physical world
acts (still it is physical, like internet, but they are both
perceived as ethereal entities), every human is a node, every though
is a package of information, every act sends bytes to our reality. We
are part of a network, in conscious and unconscious ways, we create
hierarchies and organization, with different goals.
INSTALLATION
Internet zero network based on sound, light, movement, temperature
inputs and outputs that could register through a visualization how a
system reacts and is affected by its environment, other systems and
itself, mutating and evolving into a new system, then it reveals that
reality is never static, every second is changing us, we are not the
same anymore.
PROCESS
Using the structure developed in the press-fit and make something big
assignment, the goal is to embed I0 nodes to create an installation
as a parasite in some of the spaces of IaaC. Every change of light,
temperature, sound and movement in the whole building or created by a
person would produce a reaction of the network and affect the
visualization produced by registering the data of the network. Then
this is revealing how things are constantly evolving.
