One frame is one day, and on one day many things can happen. Depending on how many times a day the name of a city or a village is mentioned on the site, the map of Hungary dynamically distorts according to that number. The sound follows and sonfies that visual outcome, creating a generative ever changing drone.
The project developed from the idea to draw a subjective map of Budapest that represented their preferred places or memories in the city. As the places were recognised emotionally ‘closer’ to the team they would be enlarged where those of less importance would loose focus and become smaller. The team tracked their own locations by using foursquare.com and check-ins made in the application are translated into distorting forces applied to the map of Budapest.
Kitchen Budapest, opened in June 2007, is a new media lab for young researchers who are interested in the convergence of mobile communication, online communities and urban space and are passionate about creating experimental projects in cross-disciplinary teams.
