  • Mini mapa sonoro project: soundscape, technology, art and education
    Publication . Gomes, José Alberto; Hespanhol, Nuno
    Mini Mapa Sonoro Project (Mini Sound Map) consists of a series of workshops held in a school context and a sound maps archive. The workshops take place in the schools of the Municipality of Braga, aiming to expose students of the second and third cycle (9-13 years old) to new technologies applied to art and soundscapes. Mini Mapa Sonoro invites a group to make their own trip through the sound heritage of Braga. Starting from six emblematic places for the students around the school, the adventure involves creating an illustration of their own sound map and recording the sounds that surround them. At the end, these maps will be available online in the form of an interactive visual and sound map. This paper describes the process and motivation behind the creation of the project concept, workshop plan, tools, the results we have achieved so far, and the feedback we have had from students and teachers. We also discuss further applications and plans for the future.
  • Never the less: a performance on networked art
    Publication . Arandas, Luis; Gomes, José Alberto; Bernardes, Gilberto; Penha, Rui
    Never The Less is a live audio-visual (A/V) networked performance, where participants are able to interact remotely and collaboratively. It adopts the newly-proposed web-based A/V Akson system, designed for an internet infrastructure, which allows both musical and visual content generation and interaction across multiple devices in remote locations. The system was built with great emphasis on live-performance and human collaboration, where experts and non-experts (i.e., artists and public) exist at the same level.
  • Towards large-scale artistic practice with web technologies
    Publication . Arandas, Luis; Gomes, José Alberto; Penha, Rui
    In this article, we present a software architecture that explores the technological potential of the web as a programmable interface and as an interpersonal connection point in the artistic practice. This structure exposes the recently proposed Akson audio-visual (AV) environment, also raising a technical evaluation of the technologies and design used to allow the development of both the platform and the network.
  • Wireplex, an extended flow of Data as Distributed Sound Sculpture
    Publication . Arandas, Luis; Gomes, José Alberto; Penha, Rui
    This article presents a networked sound sculpture made us- ing web technologies. The intervention described explores the generation of content in large numbers of distributed interfaces with potentially large distances across the globe. Using Akson audio-visual (AV) environment, a distributed connection is maintained to all machines that remain pub- licly linked. We explore and present Wireplex as an artistic use of the Internet creating an irregular platform to repro- duce the artwork.
