sniff_jazzbox.audible_city (iphone)
sniff_jazzbox captures the wlans in the immediate area like a wardrive-tool and produces a stream of wlan-names. this stream of words might be understood as a subconscious expression of the presently existing communication networks. sniff_jazzbox renders private data visible, translates it and makes it audible as a melody of yearning for contact and exchange. the names of the captured hotspots contain playable tones of the musical notation system (c, d, e, f, g, a, h, c, fis, ces ...). as you walk, ride or drive through town you will inevitably encounter loads of hotspots which are accessible for your little machine. sniff_jazzbox.audible_city is made for the iphone, it registers all the hotspots and turns them into music. through a set of instruments and different speeds for the tunes the user can interact with the tunes and adapt the music. Try it out! Walk through your neighbourhood or any town - preferably in the evening - and hear the wireless and invisble communication around you! hardware: iphone or ipod touch
if you like this you might like the 'game-version' of this concept as well: metro-wardive (nintento ds)> iphone version coming soon. Concept
sniff_jazzbox is a complex mesh of language and music interaction between human being, machine and wireless communication, between physical motion, real-time data capturing, streaming, musical notation and programming. sniff_jazzbox creates an audible city. 
Usage
sniff_jazzbox.audible_city uses similar patterns as in the tradition of the atari st/amiga trackers of the 90ties. you are able to control the instruments yourself by touching the screen and vary the speed of individual tracks.
