PRECEDENCE STUDIES -MULTIPLAYER

In Bb: The First Massive, Multiplayer Interactive Music Work

• In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls, and developed with contributions from users.
• It’s made up of a collection of YouTube videos, all featuring musicians playing something in Bb major. The videos can be played simultaneously and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders.
• This is an awesome idea. I quite like the randomness created that never exactly start at the right time. Therefore nobody who watches the videos will hear the same things as another who watches it.

See/Saw-Camille Utterback & Adam Chapman, 2001

• see/saw is an interactive installation in which visitors' manipulations of a real see-saw control the fluctuation of power and emotion in the story of an intimate relationship.
• A pair of words are projected on the walls behind the people on the see-saw—one word from each pair on the wall behind each person.
• As visitors see-saw up and down, new pairs fade in and out based on the angle of the see-saw.
• Participants' motion also causes an audio track heard through speakers embedded in the see-saw to advance.
