IRCAM in New York

Posted: August 17, 2011

As a part of the "Talk to Me: Design and the Communication between People and Objects" at the MoMA in New York from July 24-November 7.

The exhibit focuses on the objects that involve a direct interaction (interfaces, information systems, visualization design, and communication devices) and on projects that establish an emotional, sensual, or intellectual connection with their users.

Project Displayed: The MO Objects - Interlude-ANR

The system of MO objects was developed in Interlude, a research project that focused on these questions. The system is an instrumental network made up of modules that are connected (via a wireless connection) to a central element, using real-time technology that lets users explore new means of musical expression for individuals or groups. The modules can be connected with objects found in our daily lives or with traditional musical instruments.

Software for musical interaction has been developed for these objects so that users can physically perform electronic and electro-acoustic music or interpret existing recordings. An "augmented score" system associates divers systems of musical notation and movement representation. The objects can be adapted and programmed by the performers.
