Interventions into Public Space
Rock N' Scroll by Annina Rüst is a software infrastructure for interventions into wifi-equipped public space.
"Imagine walking into a coffee shop or another semi-public wifi-equipped place where people normally congregate quietly with their laptops: instead of working unbudgingly on their computers, they are shaking their office equipment and wildly tapping their cell phones.
Both mobile phones and computers are connected using Skype VOIP software. This creates delay effects depending on how good the network connection is. The sound itself is a combination of standard macintosh and windows sounds, as well as sounds that included in the Skype software, and pre-made drumloops.
