Trash beats

Here is a video of my ArT group 's installation named Trash beats. 

It were exhibited the 23th of september 2011 at Platform 4 as part of the musical kinetic sculpture exhibition organized by ArT.

The installation consist entirely of found objects.

Small motors with wood rods attached functioned as drumsticks. A computer used an external webcam to measure the movement of nearby spectators and the programming language Max Msp Jitter were used to control the drumming rods.

The movement picked up by the webcam were coming into Max as pure signals (numbers!) and could affect a programmed sequencer to play different rhythm´s depending on the amount of movement. 

So, no movement meant no playing and movement meant PARTY!!
