The goal was to conceive an interactive exhibition
comprehending several aspects of music, instruments, musical creation,
show how do scores work, how do they turn into music,
enabling visitors to create their own music.
I wanted visitors to plunge into all aspects of musical creation,
specially the music from Rio de Janeiro.
I was telling that the monitors wanted to see funk. The funk composers are here.
We tried to conceive entertaining interactions, since the theme is music.
One of the installations is the Musical Table, which is like a music sequencer
where the public can compose their music by putting pieces on a table.
The interface is designed in a way that the table reads the position of these
pieces and returns music to the visitor.
For another installation, Animated Score, we’ve worked with Stephen Malinovski
who made a software which generates animated scores.
We’ve designed the appearance. The scores have been split into tracks.
The visitor can turn on the tracks at his discretion to see how different
instruments add up to make the piece of music.
The third installation is an interactive timeline of Brazilian composers. The
interface resembles an infinite set of cards, each card devoted to a composer.
The timeline may be browsed by year, genre and composer's name. The visitor
may access videos and audios and read information about each composer.
It's hard to imagine, nowadays, an exhibition that has no interactivity.
The visitors of contemporary expositions are eager for this type of interface.
Technology is here to provide
this dialogue between the visitor and the content.
This is the first of many such expositions.
Rio and Brazil are made of music but there has never been an interactive
exhibition devoted to Brazilian music.
