The melody shredder

Schizoporotica is a music box inspired by the old punch cards system. When a torn up flyer is inserted, the machine creates a melody according to the highs and lows of the torn pattern. A screen projects the image of the inside of the machine, allowing the user to more easily link the music to the shape of the card he has torn up.

A collaboration between Troika and Evangelos Kaimakis.

The work has been selected for the Cybersonica festival that will take place in London, on May 8-26. Thanks Chris.
