The Berlin based artists Malte Steiner and Wolfgang Spahn are exploring the artistic potential of embedded open source systems. These small-sized computing platforms gives the possibility to combine a multitude of independent devices to create a more powerful system than most single computers can provide. Based on the idea of free tools for free art, all hard- and software is open source and can be used, modified and improved by all other artists. Instead of using one high tech super computer for multiprojection Spahn and Steiner developed and share a system which allows theoreticaly the connection of thousands of independent embedded platforms for one gigantic multivision show and still keep the costs low by using the cheap mini computer Raspberry Pi, a platform originally designed for eductional purposes. |
In this talk Spahn and Steiner introduce their open source Embedded Artist System and talk about its capabilities, the motivation behind it and the development process. |
