Ping Body
posted by Tony on Saturday July 21, @09:27PM
from the network-sensing dept.
Sensing The Web By random pinging (or measuring the echo times) to Internet domains it is possible to map spatial distance and transmission time to body motion. Ping Body uses values from 0-2000 milliseconds (indicative of both distance and density levels of Internet activity) to activate a multiple muscle stimulator directing 0-60 volts to the body. Thus ping values that indicate spatial and time parameters of the Internet choreograph and compose the performances. A graphical interface of limb motions simulates and initiates the physical body's movements. This, in turn, generates sounds mapped to proximity, positioning and bending of the arms and legs.
