Abstract

Gridjam, a performance instrument, visualized real-time in the Virtual Color Organ, was developed and transformed through collaboration and new technology during a fifteen year process. The artist’s collaboration with scientists demonstrated that this project can show the potential of packet-less, global, direct connections. This article describes the origins of the Gridjam in the Virtual Color Organ and envisages its performance in a future environment.
