30. May 2009. After 2 months figthing it is now clear: [Apple REJECTED THIS APP! Similar to WARDIVE FOR IPHONE IT USES HOTSPOTS and does not qualify as an OFFICAL APPLE API!] They don't even answer our emails.
So if you are interested in this app, send us an email. WE CAN LIVE WITHOUT APPLE BUT CAN APPLE LIVE WITHOUT CREATIVITY?

andorDada is a road poem. You stroll through town and your immediate area generates a poem. You walk further through town or ride on a bus and the poem changes according to your location in town. andorDada is an endless poem; andorDada is adaptive locative Dada. It reads, writes out and interprets the subconscious social structure of a town.

hardware: iPhone (Android version in planning)
install: coming soon

andOrDada - an endless road poem - video and reading

Concept

The andorDada software works as an adaptive poetry-tool with locative levels. Iit generates new scenes and environments in the traditions of the situationists. It captures wlan waves in the immediate area of the user and converts the wlan-waves into poetic objects. the wlan conversion uses a streamsearch algorithm which was also used by And-Or in streamfishing, searchsongs and sniff_jazzbox. However the software not only manages to generate subjects and objects, as a crucial addition for the poetic value of the project it manages to create verbs from the captured hotspots. AndOrDada features three distinct modes: The first mode manages to create a story; the second mode generates a narrative with your friends which are being retrieved from the address book; and the tird mode shows a lyric approach and creates a dadaistique poem.

Usage

AndOrDada was made for the iphone. It works best while moving through town. It uses similar patterns as Sniff_jazzbox and Wardive. The final version will be publicly available and for free use soon.
