Reactable at CODE Live - Vancouver 2010 Olympics

Playing with the Reactable at CODE Live, a free art exhibition at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics. Way too much fun!

"Reactable is an electronic musical instrument with luminous tabletop surfaces that can be played simultaneously by several people. Participants move and rotate physical objects, which, in turn, activate programs of complex and dynamic sounds. Designed by digital luthiers (someone who makes or repairs stringed instruments), Reactableis available for anyone visiting the exhibition to play. Circumventing the complex processes associated with musical collaboration, this instrument is a sonic device that allows for immediate learning and performance. The idea of creating a physical and virtual space simultaneously suggests how technologies of communication can produce systems of collaboration, the implications of which are beyond aesthetics and art."
