I was fortunate enough to attend a presentation about Bjork’s app album; Biophilia. I highly recommend checking out the app if you haven’t experienced it already. BioPhillia immerses you in a another world and allows you to interact in it by playing instruments and games.
For me, the big take away from the presentation is that our experience with music is currently in flux. We’re obviously moving away from the experience of sitting down and listening to music on a record player. Scott Snibbe, one of the BioPhilla developers, thinks that we currently have a hook up relationship with music. I think interactive and intimate experiences with music will make people feel like they are a part of the art, and hopefully this new dynamic will encourage people to share and create even more music. We live in exciting times. Thank you for creating this experience; Creators Project!
The Creators Project is a collaboration between Vice Media and Intel and its purpose is to demonstrate how technology stretches the boundaries of art. They certainly reached their goal with this exhibit!
The concept behind this exhibit is to create a physical manifestation of a Spiritualized song, and man, was it far out. Different instruments oozed out of speakers located throughout the room and in the light vents. The rumbling floor paired with the visuals turned this cathedral-like space into a truly meditative and spiritual experience. It was sensory overload. And as you can tell, it was a magnet for beautiful and hip young folks throughout the New York area.
