NYC Hackathon DIY Current Sensors
Get some wire
get some ferrous, circular materials, I used the tops of pins
cut a small insicion in the side
cut out centers, they don’t have to be even
wrap the circles with a wire, about 60 turns each
get 6 resistors, I used 100k resistors
fold over their legs
and cut off the excess
solder two resistors to one end of the wire coil
you can wrap them around all sorts of things found around the house
attach a wire to each resistor and one to the other end of the wire
get an xbee and feed it 3.3v dc
NOTE! Do not cross power and ground cables on your circuit!
cuircuit graciously borrowed from: http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/node/28
put the pin into pin one on the xbee, one of the resistor wires to power, the other to ground
the other xbee will relay messages the internet
the arduino code can be downloaded here
Performance of JMZ Tunnel at NYU Television Center
Following the score below for one of my sound walks, Arturo Vidich, performed the JMZ Tunnel at the Canal Street Station in the hallway of the television center at NYU.
SinthCity, network
since my project is in a way, already networked, in the contemporary sense of the word, (it is commercially distributable over the internet, it is open source, it is a user personalized experience, they can upload their recordings of the experience to a central database, chat in forums, etc, developers can download my code, and there is an open source application that can be downloaded in order to DJ, over a network, with the patch), I decided to “network” my project by broadcasting it over a radio network. It is a two way network, so direct communication can happen in real time, but it is localized to the range of transmission of my radios (40 feet radius in NY), and it helps to have line of sight to make the experience fuller
SinthCity, notation
Notation of my project for Sound in the City, I hope to use it a score
Sound and the City Research
What I tried to do:
I took “projection” (even though it was not mention it was implied) too relevantly.
My first impulse was to take a projector and use the film inside it as a trope for the “reality” in my project and a transparent process of automated manipulation (including recording, manipulation and re-projection of that processed image onto the same surface with a digital projector) as instructional performance (think learning by seeing) as a way to communicate my project to a broader audience.
I spent a lot of time on the film, I was looking for it’s reality. I found scratched audio to be a good trope because it has direct correlation of form, image and sound. But this was more about film as a medium.
Next I collected a series of screen tests and began to splice them together. But this was also problematic because while it represents the politics of film in a nice way, it has nothing to do with some “reality” of film.
Last night I finally realized, naturally that the thing that makes most sense about projection was to go to my site, have its photons project onto my film, project my film onto the screen and then begin to “edit” live the footage, eating it up and spitting it out with the digitizing process in a very clear way.
The effects in my patch were all designed to have to do with working with film (ie affecting framerate, exposure, etc. ). But that is probably not the right approach again, probably the best method would have been to try to affect only the time and rhythm of the image, or the content in a way that recognizes it’s shapes.
Documentation of what I did below.
omg im going to bed
thought i was banging it too often, turns out the world is backwards
how to crash pd using internet radio!
i was trying to browse the interwebz radio with a slider,
guess that bangs the connect port too often, dunno, it made cool circe 1996 modem like sounds from the suite of polish dance stations I was trying to toggle between, till it crashed.

VJing with PD
The Amazing Winslow Porter at Not Spring Not Winter

Sound &da City assign. 2
Combine Image and Sound.
My first desire and impulse is to go scream at a painting. What is a more prototypical created image than a painting, and what is more primal than a scream?
What I would have done:
Walk into the Reina Sophia, pay my ticket, go up the stairs, walk up to Guernica, and, start screaming, for just as long as the air in my lungs lasts, letting it die off naturally, and then walk away.
Simulacra: http://yuditskaya.com/sound/guernicaScream.mp4
Various foley, and samples and an excerpt from we all scream alone, by Gregory Whitehead, and a photograph of Guernica displayed at the Reina Sophia.
The actual output: Lots of attempts at integrating video with audio as a VJ tool in PD, including a patch with a bandpass filter applied to both image and sound, long live synesthesia.

On Viral Poetry
A computer virus is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer.
From Wikipedia:
The Creeper virus was first detected on ARPANET, the forerunner of the Internet, in the early 1970s.[4] Creeper was an experimental self-replicating program written by Bob Thomas at BBN Technologies in 1971.[5] Creeper used the ARPANET to infect DEC PDP-10 computers running the TENEX operating system. Creeper gained access via the ARPANET and copied itself to the remote system where the message, “I’m the creeper, catch me if you can!” was displayed. The Reaper program was created to delete Creeper.[6]
A program called “Rother J” was the first computer virus to appear “in the wild” — that is, outside the single computer or lab where it was created.[7] Written in 1981 by Richard Skrenta, it attached itself to the Apple DOS 3.3 operating system and spread via floppy disk.[7][8] This virus, created as a practical joke when Skrenta was still in high school, was injected in a game on a floppy disk. On its 50th use the Elk Cloner virus would be activated, infecting the computer and displaying a short poem beginning “Elk Cloner: The program with a personality.”
Elk Cloner (circa 1982)
Elk Cloner: The program with a personality
It will get on all your disks
It will infiltrate your chips
Yes it's Cloner!
It will stick to you like glue
It will modify ram too
Send in the Cloner!
