Telematic Drum Circle project is currently off. You can still login and see the details of the project, but cannot remotely play the robotic drums now. The project will be back with new features soon. ;-)
Telematic Drum Circle is an interdisciplinary art project which combines telecommunications, robotics, human-computer interaction, and improvisational music. The project allows multiple online users around the world to create a live collective sound improvisation by controlling sixteen robotic percussion instruments via the Internet. The project explores the rupture of deeper communication in the technology meditated world, and addresses the issue of global harmony by sharing participants' rhythmical spirit produced through the telematic live drum ensemble.
