Amalie’s Land Live Stream

by
As part of our project ‘Amalie’s Land’ we set up a 24/7 audio visual live stream on twitch.tv
It’s a sonification of the bio data and a remix of field recordings of the spot – generated in realtime.
A willow tree on a field plot on the edge of a small village in a river valley in Germany is being observed right now by various sensors. This sensor data controls a software that constantly remixes sound and video recordings of the location. This creates a constantly changing audio visual stream from the current biodata and the archive of the tree and its immediate surroundings.
