ouiki world map(ster)
The following (shown below) is a project Steve Mann did
with Chris Aimone and Frankie G, exhibited at Digifest in conjunction
with the Mann's Keynote Address at Digifest.
Ouiki World Map(ster) is a ouiki that runs on a projected
world map as a user-interface.
The "mapster" file sharing interface maps body movements to
possibly illegal data transfers of music files that play through
loudspeakers on the ground near where a ceiling mounted projector directs an
image.
The user interface provides strategic ambiguity regarding intentionality,
and allows multiple users to collaborate in the positioning of a
non-willful-blindness planchette for copyright irreverence that summons
spirits of the dead to be bound by the Terms and Contitions incumbent
upon the entity that actuates the playback of musical data files.
