Exploring Music
Probably one of the most unusual ways of interacting and exploring a music collection is offered by Stephen Baumann a researcher on AI, media and music. Stephen points me to MP3 Konzert Archiv. Mp3 Konzert Archive was an exhibition built in an old markethall. They transformed the main hall into a 'meadow of music' by covering the floor with real grass and planting 'music flowers' that played songs from different playlists. This exhibition was, in effect, a huge analog interface to a large music collection. Visitors interacted with the collection by listening to the various flowers.
An interesting and novel idea for sure.
