Snowflakes, an interactive performance / installation with iPhones

A performance / installation by Dr. Masayuki Akamatsu, a researcher and professor of IAMAS, an influential media arts institute in Japan.

Using an array of Apple iPhones preloaded with an application and a simple WiFi network, each iPhone became an audio-visual generation instrument, interactive soundscape and imagescape for the installation artwork.

Audiences were seated around the set-up of the first session and those seated close to the installation were able to touch and interacted with the installation by touching any one of the iPhones on the table.



iPhones were mounted onto the glass wall inside the room for the second session. Audiences could walk freely and interacted with the installation.



These iPhones were controlled by an application Max/MSP on a laptop.
