“Instant City is a music building game table. one or more players at a table can create architecture using semi-transparent building blocks and in the process make different modular compositions audible. Every performance is unique because the sequence, timing and combination possibilities are completely in the hands of the players! For each game one composition is chosen. To date, eight different musicians have each produced special compositions which serve as the basic music building kits of instant city. The repertoire and compositions can and will be continually renewed/replenished.”
“For us the challenge of this interactive installation lies in enticing the audience into action, not only in front of the monitor or with a keyboard, but also in relation to the physically real, sensually graspable objects. This action, on the other hand, should influence the atmosphere of the total space luring other people to play and listen.”
Looks like a really interesting installation. The site about it is in Flash and I can’t link direct: So, click ‘English’ in the left-hand navigation, then ‘Projects’, then ‘Instant City’.

Oooh, this is so Star Trek… They used to play that game a bit like chess that had different perspex levels.
Mind you the site that “promotes” it is so hopeless I have no idea where this is? Any pointers?
Working & Blogging
最近接到一位研究生的來信，提出希望就blog的論文題目進行實地採訪的邀請。與工頭討論過後，經過一點思索，最後還是婉拒了她的好意。
There’s some more details about the Instant City project up now:
