Cell Tango
Duration: NA
Created: 2010
Elements: multimedia installation
Details: An interactive installation that features a dynamically growing collection of cellphone images visually sequenced according to contributors' metadata and text tags. The public is invited to send photos taken on their cell phones adding tags to describe the images. These images are organized by a database which uses the images’ tags to search and retrieve other associative images from the online Flickr photo sharing website. The gallery installation consists of 4 animations that groups and presents the images in different
ways. Four unique audio algorithems were developed to compliment the visual presentation.
Collaborators: Christopher Jette (sound design & sonification software), Angus Forbes (visualization software) George Legradey (concept& design)
