almost certified (grade A noise for non-discerning consumers)
precarious egg-tapping robots
almost certified (grade A noise for non-discerning consumers) is a mechanical sound installation and informative publication by k.cain and b.crabtree. It is being presented by Machine Gallery until January 3rd 2005.
The piece consists of a distributed network of precarious egg-tapping robots. Each unit, individually amplified, features a select unconventional egg. calculated sequences emerge, conducted by beautifully rendered software on a resurrected mainframe (a sweet mac LC3). The result: a peculiar acoustic
spatial drum machine.
"we seek and impart knowledge, addressing alarming practices and trends in the egg industry. by promoting social consciousness we can live better through decentralization." [video]
