Megan Michalak & Stephanie Rothenberg: “World X Diagnostics” Redux

World X Diagnostics

World X Diagnostics Redux, Megan Michalak and Stephanie Rothenberg

New York Electronic Art Festival
Friday, October 9, 2009
7:00pm – 10:00pm
Harvestworks, New York, NY

World X Diagnostics is a revolutionary system that evaluates and diagnoses citizen responses to socio-economic conditions resulting from the global economic meltdown. Public data measuring gross national well being is collected from participating users and translated into real time sound frequencies through programmed algorithms. Through the system’s network, users are able to access the compiled data from their geographical region, as well as from any location on the globe. Real time sound frequencies sonify collective malaise, well being and outrage through a series of durational chords and tones produced by a sound output module. The interpretative data will serve as evaluative material for restructuring global resources following the traumatic collapse. Read More »
