software to create personally tailored songs and enhance memory

Earworms, by Aaron Koblin, is a software which allows users to create personally tailored songs to enhance their memory. The concept is that the use of rythm, repetition and melody will help people remember, share and organize their lives.

The software will run on PC, PDA or mobile phones and merge vocal samples with music in real time. Songs are made available for playback on a variety of handhelds.

Another fabulous work from the artist is Eat you up, an interactive installation in which you have to answer questions about your lifestyle. From this information a code is created which contains an approximation of the levels of amino acids present within your system. This code is used to create a synthetic meat flavor which is then presented to you.
