Aggregator v1.0 builds on a suite of creative ‘tools’ or ‘operating systems’ that dynamically manifest ‘data’ as an abstract and invisible material, forming a mirror image of our world and reflecting, in sharp contrast and high resolution, our biological, ecological and social activities.
Aggregator v1.0 generates an audio/visual immersive experience of data feeds from web 2.0 platforms, news feeds, networks, buildings, and satellites all orchestrated through subtle audience interaction.
Aggregator v1.0 is a evolving generative performane and the audience is able drop in and out during the session.
