ART 317 Plays the Building
(An homage to David Byrnes "Playing The Building")

This exhibition consists of a collaborative instrument, featuring contributors from the University of Calgary's Electronics for Artists class (ART 317). Students in this class have developed a suite of approximately 30 electronic objects that produce sound in various ways. In an homage/re-enactment of David Byrne's piece "Playing the Building", these objects are triggered by a musical keyboard. Each individual note on the keyboard activates a specific object in the space. These objects, arranged throughout the exhibition space, create a spatialized and indeterminate musical experience.

This work is a collaboration between undergraduate students from the Computer Science and Visual Arts departments. The students are using Arduino, an open source micro-processor, to explore the creative application of electronics and programming to create dynamic and/or interactive works of art.
