Songs from my analogue utopia

In Songs from my analogue utopia, I explore the self-organizing coordination dynamics of analog oscillators and the Utopian potentials of analogue communication. In analogue communication, synchronization results from the mutual interaction of two or more processes, not a single process is dominating the other. It is in the mutuality where I see the Utopian potential of analogue communication. I undertake this exploration on the screen of an overhead projector, where I place little motors driven by analogue oscillators. The motors hit on rubber bands or other objects which are equipped with piezo-pickups, rendering the rhythmical hitting of the motors into sound and into a shadow play.

Abstract

In Songs from my analogue utopia, I explore the self-organizing coordination dynamics of analog oscillators and the Utopian potentials of analogue communication. In analogue communication, synchronization results from the mutual interaction of two or more processes, not a single process is dominating the other. It is in the mutuality where I see the Utopian potential of analogue communication. I undertake this exploration on the screen of an overhead projector, where I place little motors driven by analogue oscillators. The motors hit on rubber bands or other objects which are equipped with piezo-pickups, rendering the rhythmical hitting of the motors into sound and into a shadow play.
