Znet Sequencer
Artist: Jordi Sala
Short description: ZNET SEQUENCER is a network traffic based sequencer. It is a Puredata patch that generates different sounds and/or graphics with a "ip sequencer". Network traffic is captured by pdpcap external, the ip sequencer generates a different bang for each 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, so as we surf the web, download a file, read email, etc a sound 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.
