These pieces were designed to liv eon mobile media. I Imagined these playing when a file or text message was sent or recieved. THe inspiration comes form the ideas proposed by Daniel Dennett that informaiton infects and propegates in the mind and then seeks to spread and duplicate.
Shortly after reading Smart Mobs by Rheingold and reflecting on how malicious information in computer culture is called a "virus" I thought I woudl try to capture this in a useful little piece.
These pieces are very short, as most file and text notifications are also very short. The music is energetic to alert the user of informaion (it couldn't be subtle) as well as to reflect the aggressiveness of "viral information spreading".
I used a lambda bacteriophage to depict viral duplication and information transfer.
