dynaMix has started! We will be partnering with the North Carolina Museum of Life and Science to make the technology in the studio accessible to middle school age youth and beyond.

The sound studio explores the human-machine interface. It is embedded with computational sensors for measuring characteristics of the space and has a multi-sensory user interface to convey information to the people in the environment.

In its current instantiation, the studio has nine webcams mounted in the ceiling that are used to determine characteristics about motion in the space. As a person moves through the room, sounds are generated based on where and how much they are moving.

Studio Installations

soundSense - an exploration of the possibility of representing human identity and motion through sound.

mix Tapestry - an interactive, networked performance of music and graphics triggered by people moving under web cameras in the CIEMAS Studio and in the Krannert Art Museum at UIUC.

interface - a project that attempts to layout a dialectic of digital technology, focusing on how the digital technologies enabled the realization of ever increasing forms of collectivity and agency, in short - the prehistory of collective intelligence.
