My Computer Is Sitting In A Room is a synthetic and technical reimagining of Alvin Lucier”s I Am Sitting In A Room.
Here a computer speaks the words from Lucier’s original script and records, and replays itself doing so, over and over again.
In this particular performance you can hear the small internal speaker of the laptop beginning to distort as the resonant feedback of the piece increases. This is the laptop”s own response to performing the piece and thus the piece remains the laptop”s own.
The software system for this piece has been designed in such a way that it can be loaded onto any modern computer with a built-in speaker and microphone.
The software can be programmed to perform scheduled performances, or cycle through iterations before resetting itself and repeating the piece enabling it to be installed in a gallery context indefinately.
The number of iterations can be adjusted so that the acoustic resonance of the piece can be achieved in diferent spaces before the system resets itself.

Both SuperCollider and PureData remain interesting and potential candidates for the purposes of facilitating mobile user audio interaction within installation environments, as both platforms can be rendered into mobile applications using iSuperColliderKit[3] for SuperColliderand either PDParty[4] or MobMuPlat [5,6] in the case of PureData. Cases for the use of PDParty are evidenced through the outdoor location based audio experiences of Robert Thomas [7], namely the University of Nottingham’s commissioned ‘Caves’ audio experience and the most recent manifestation of the… read more

Overview This proposal outlines an artist-led and practice-based research project that intends to realise a system through which its users can create personal, interactive and immersive mobile sound art experiences, or interactive soundscapes, that will enhance their perceptions of interior and exterior urban environments. This will be achieved through the use of sonified personal, locative and environmental data, along with processed and unprocessed ambient sonic artefacts. I will outline how this could be achieved using… read more
