DLKW have invented the Codeorgan – a programme that can take any website and turn it into sweet music.
The Codeorgan works by analysing the ‘body’ content of any web page and translates that content into music. The Codeorgan uses a complex algorithm to define the key, synthesiser style and drum pattern most appropriate to the page content.
1-Bit music is the first release by Tristan Perich. It is a CD jewel case cointaining hand-assembled electronics programmed to generate an album of low-fi electronic music. One bit of data is the smallest unit of digital information, representing a binary state: on or off, true or false. Using this minimal waveform for audio, Perich creates music that is conceptually and essentially electronic.
Humans since 1982 have created a digital clock made of 24 analogue clocks, which spell out the time with their hands. They are designstudents at HDK Göteborg in Sweden and gathered under the name “humans since 1982″ – developed a prototype of a wall clock: call it “The clock clock”.
Tweet a Sound is a desktop application that uses Twitter as a platform for sharing sonic tweets. Pushing the idea of “social sound design“, Tweet A Sound allows you to design a sound and share it in a community of like-minded folks. It is an opportunity for fun interaction with sound.
Great mechanical clock designed by Duncan Shotton.
Numbers are printed on vertical sliders and only reveal themselves when shifted into perfect alignment with the display box.
Newsmap is an application that visually reflects the constantly changing landscape of the Google News news aggregator. A treemap visualization algorithm helps display the enormous amount of information gathered by the aggregator. Treemaps are traditionally space-constrained visualizations of information. Newsmap’s objective takes that goal a step further and provides a tool to divide information into quickly recognizable bands which, when presented together, reveal underlying patterns in news reporting across cultures and within news segments in constant change around the globe.
Newsmap does not pretend to replace the googlenews aggregator. Its objective is to simply demonstrate visually the relationships between data and the unseen patterns in news media. It is not thought to display an unbiased view of the news; on the contrary, it is thought to ironically accentuate the bias of it.
