Uploading and Downloading of sounds for the
Simulation Room-Mosaic of Mobile Sound Data, knowbotic research
(Winner of Golden Nica for interactive art 1993)
The VR-installation of knowbotic research, 14-18.6.93, housed in the parking
house of the
festival-building, has three main areas.
Section one is a sophisticated, walk-in data-base utilising a
collection of sound samples from around the world, which will be
used to produce a virtual 'sound room'. The sound data will
correspond to the second section, a physical room, where visitors
will be able to navigate through the space with the aid of a mobile
ultrasonic sensor and an artificial eye display and activate the
data to a realtime-concert.
The action of the visitors, within this 'virtual organism,' will be
displayed on a video screen shown in a control room area (the third
area).
We welcome your participation for the international sound-data-base:
To participate we need from you a 6 second long sound sample, a
cultural statement, reflecting your personal attitude towards the "world".
Please send this via email or ftp (aiff, aif.Z, wave, next formats). All
submitted sounds are available by ftp obelix@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx .
All participants and institutions will be credited in a publicly
displayed database during the exhibition at Ars Electronica.
How to send sound files to KR+cF:
What we need is musical material, verbal sound or noise, which can be
collected in and help to create our virtual space. Your sound sample
should be in mono and about 6 seconds. It might be a good idea to use
your name and country as a file name, e.g. mike_mueller_germany.aiff.
Let us know if anything is not clear.
