Cybraphon is a robotic music instrument, a data-mining-computer, a visualization-machine, a mind-blowing interactive art piece.
If you have an iPhone, you can check Cybraphon’s mood on the move, here.more info and link after the jump.
It consists of a number of instruments, antique machinery, and found objects from junk shops operated by over 60 robotic components, all housed in a modified wardrobe. Its emotions are shown on a 100 year old school galvanometer; In addition to these musical components, Cybraphon has several internal light sources that are controlled on four fader channels, and infra-red motion detectors to monitor people watching it.
The computer runs custom software (coded in Python and MAX/MSP) to monitor the web and update Cybraphon’s emotions according to the rate at which its popularity is changing over time. All mentions of Cybraphon online that are indexed by Google are noted, as well as activity on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, Flickr, MySpace, and this very website.
FOUND ELECTRONICS is a new Edinburgh-based company started by Ziggy Campbell and Simon Kirby to facilitate their ongoing experiments with sound and technology.
