The presented work moids 2.0 is the second version of our basic theme. After several pursuits, we came to focus on acoustics that emerge as a result of an organic and decentralized process. The core element of this acoustic emergence is what we call a “single reactive unit” consisting of an audible signal device, a microphone and a microchip. It generates audible signals when sound comes in. To realize a structure where units can be evenly arranged, we use a equilateral triangular metal frame and put a unit on each edge. The three units form fuzzy acoustic loops and react to the surrounding acoustic. By connecting metal frames, the acoustic structures and loops can be combined while maintaining distances, angles and of course the acoustic relation of units.
We constructed a mass of units with hacking electro-acoustic devices and tried to find an acoustic emergence that is possible with these potential existance only. Compared to a single function unit, how different will the acoustic emergence be?
The three geeks began collaborating on the moids project in 2004 after hearing a lecture given by late Dr. Moog about an invisible energy field related to acoustics. They have since been active in the art field, exploring electronic / electric acoustics from an organic, decentralized angle. They are also founding members of the Kinoshita Laboratory, Tokyo since 2003 to realize collaborations in universal fields such as moids.
