Znet Sequencer

Jordi Sala: Znet Sequencer

Artist: Jordi Sala

Short Summary

ZNET SEQUENCER is a Pure Data patch that generates different sounds and/or graphics using an “IP sequencer”. Network traffic is captured by pcap external, the ip sequencer generates a different bang for each basic protocol (IP, TCP, UDP and ICMP), and the sound system has the assigned sound for them (sampler, drums, noises, etc...). So, the “music” (or noise) is generated by a sequencer based on IP network traffic. If you connect your device (smartphone or laptop) to the wifi, or using the computer of the installation you can see that as you surf the web, download a file, read email, etc a sound is generated and all traffic together compose a “song” in real-time.

-is generated and all traffic together compose a ?¿╣?£song?¿╣?¥ in real-time. This functions can be all easily modified to adapt the patch to any need. Additionally, a graphic representation of network traffic can be included  to the installation (using GEM). The installation has multiple possibilities, but basically with a computer connected to the network, a sound system, a video projector (optional if  we want to visualize the network traffic) and an open wifi access for visitor's smartphones and laptots, the visitors can generate the sound by browsing the web, using ftp, reading email, etc.. from their devices.
