Telematic Drum Circle
"Telematic Drum Circle" is an interdisciplinary art project which combines Telecommunications, Robotics, Human-Computer Interaction, and Improvisational Music. The project allows multiple online users around the world to create a live collective sound improvisation through controlling robotic percussion instruments via the Internet. The project explores the rupture of deeper communication in the technology meditated world, and addresses the issue of global harmony by sharing participants' rhythmical spirit produced through the telematic live drum ensemble.
