analog io

By Han-earl Park | Published: June 29, 2009

I’ve assumed that future versions of io would have a single board computer (or multiple SBCs) in place of the clunky and fragile personal computer. There was, however, always an alternative. Take the not-so-humble analog computer, a technology with a fascinating past and a (still promising) future. Given that io’s behavior is driven by an N-body [...]

beta test 11-10-08 with Franziska Schroeder

Saxophonist, improviser, theorist and veteran of technological arts, Franziska Schroeder will be working with io++ (or components that will make up that machine), and we’ll see more clearly what work needs to [...]

Too small, too [...]
