Introduction.

Ideal for Synthetics is an audiovisual environment developed in Arduino and MAX/MSP/Jitter for real time audio and video production.

The axis of the project is the interaction placed in an installation in order to allow users to create a different product every time they interact with the piece.

The installation consists in locating the user or visitor in a burned living room with three devices I created to perform audiovisual content, dry leaves all over the floor, a log on a 50’s armchair and a small wooden brown table. On the table there are books and letters. By the table is an old stove.

The devices have a specific task.

The log has many buttons and knobs coming out from the tree crust. These can produce diverse sounds and the knobs controll many effects.

The book has also buttons and knobs and these can control and play conversations and make granular synthesis.

The stove has 2 ultrasonic range finders, one infrared sensor, 3 servo motors, 1 accelerometer and 5 knobs to controll audio and video in real time.
