Baudrichord

Baudrichord is a soundsculpture based on a videoloop of an interview of the french theoretician Jean Baudrillard. His speaking is analyzed by a program that interprets his voice into tones, or midi-notes. These notes are then fed into a piano that plays these notes mechanically. With that I mean that you can see the tones played, the keys are playing without anybody moving them.

"The territory no longer precedes the map, nor does it survive it. It is nevertheless the map that precedes the territory —precession of simulacra—that engenders the territory." -Jean Baudrillard
