Consciousnoise < CONTROL

(2015)

Tom Mudd’s CONTROL installation (presented at Café OTO) is a sequential compilation of (Max/MSP) interactive sound programs, each controlable with a single dial button and the sound being produced with a single speaker.

As one of the contributors, I designed a program that is based on a simplified personal interpretation of the functioning of our mind.

The program generates pure tones that appear as thoughts do. There is a short amount of time to shape the thought (to change the frequency), but then, a new thought appears and the previous remains perceptible but untouchable until it “surpasses the size of our consciousness”… You can get lost in an undesirable kakophony, but you can also keep in control and find your harmony!
