!
Music instrument:a device capable of generating sound once a certain amount of energy is provided.->A converter into acoustic energy
Residual orchestras: automated, low cost/recycled sound/music instruments
!
Physical computing:uncouple computation (as a process) from computers (as objects) by moving the former into the “real world”.
Features- beyond “multimedia computer”- technological reappropriation (DYI)- heterogeneity (both hw and sw)
!
Punk Munari
1. Banzi: punk attitude in Arduino, learning by doing
2. Munari: “with a lot of patience, learning the technique while I’m working and without knowing before what will come out after” (Codice ovvio)
3. “System-D”: “débrouille-toi!” (recyclers from Dakar)
Values from sustainable design
1. refabrication: shaping and reshaping the semiotic status of material culture
2. softening: “produced while designed”, improvisation-like mood, open
3. flexibility: capability of the residual orchestras to be modified in relation to specific needs
