Berlin Germany, December 2009;
Berlin artist Marco Kuhn has developed his own multi-touch user interface, a DIY controller featuring an intuitive abstraction of Ableton Live's Session View. I was invited to document the Play Box and it's first application Play Live.

This is basically the future of controllerism. Jazzmutant Lemur and whatnot better lower the price because this shows that a simple touchscreen and application can do a hell of a lot of cool stuff.

what is this? a coffin? i'm half expecting a family of cats to be buried beneath it. are there cats there? how many? six? i'm guessing six? six dead cats. all because of you and your box! and that green jumper. mostly the green jumper.

Too big. Tacky Display. He wants to make it smaller. Why not just get an ipad. I hate ipads. What's wrong with knobs. This thing looks about the same size and dimensions of my grandmother's first T.V... From the 70's.
