PhoneCode [Demo]
- PhoneCode is a visual and musical expression to identify the difference among people through a series of phone number.

Cellphone is major communication device for delivering messages with other people.Each person is identify by a series of unique numbers. To get beyond the imagination of numeral codes, we convert a person’s cellphone number to an animation with music. People can be distinguished by this specific visual and musical expression.

In visual display, we use different themes to specify different telecommunication systems. In the beginning, the screen is composed of two colors and is encoded by binary code. The following is a piece of specific animation along with melody. The animation is accompanied with music based on the obtained tempo.

In music part, we use the rule of “Mozart’s Musikalisches Würfelspiel”(http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/Mozart/dice/) to generate an amazing music. It is a musical composition dice game which is created by Mozart and we apply the rule to map each number into a piece of music in order to create specific melody.


「Phone Code」是從手機號碼所引發出來的跨介面、跨感官的藝術想像。手機是現代人情感交流與訊息傳遞的主要工具,其中每個人被以一串獨有的數字識別,而目前手機將多媒體的概念融入介面設計,於是此般字符蘊有超脫靜態描述的感官呈現上的空間--視覺與聽覺上的經驗,即為將手機號碼對應轉化為一段動畫與一串樂符,並同步和諧視聽雙軌,替原本冰冷的數字賦予全新的藝術生命。

視覺呈現上,手機號碼將進行主題式的視覺元素重組。在被等分為三十六小塊的畫面上,會先依據各個數字所對應的二進位碼,以2D平面的排列突顯門號的唯一性。接著,為打破字符的窠臼,我們針對主要幾間電信業者,製作各自的動畫主題,隨著數字的不同,主題中的動態元件會藉由擬人化的形式構成多元而繽紛的畫面,讓使用者體驗專屬的數字藝術聯想。

聽覺上,我們邀請莫札特穿越時空來替「Phone Code」演奏。主要是利用「莫札特的擲骰子遊戲」( Mozart’s Musikalisches Würfelspiel, http://sunsite.univie.ac.at/Mozart/dice/),它是一種機率音樂(Aleatoric music),我們將手機號碼對應至一組骰子點數,不同的骰子點數會指定莫札特事先創作好的小節,最後創作出一首首的小步舞曲。此外,配合不同電信業者會以不同的樂器來演奏這莫札特專門為您創作的聽覺饗宴。

由於「Phone Code」跨介面地將數字資訊感官化呈現,以及藝術形成過程的唯一性,它可做為一種新的「秀自己」的網路藝術,尤其在部落格形式的場域,「Phone Code」能在不將號碼公佈下,將專屬的藝術無遠弗屆地展示,同時為部落客提供另一種社交互動的機會。
