Ars Electronica 2009: NABAZ'MOB @ Lentos

Artists: Antoine Schmitt and Jean-Jacques Birgé (FR)

A nabaztag is a rabbit thats 23 cm tall and weighs 418 g. But were not talking about just any rabbit here: this bunny features a WLAN internet connection and can communicate via voice, light signals and wiggling its ears. "NABAZ'MOB" is an opera composed by Antoine Schmitt and Jean-Jacques Birgé especially for 100 nabaztags. Its subject matter is the growing importance of teamwork, decision-making and control - and, simultaneously, the problems increasingly associated with them -in our ever-more-complex world.

The rabbits performed within the concert-night "Pursuit of the Unheard" in Lentos. Nabaz'mob won an award of distinction at the Prix Ars Electronica in 2009.
