SB_Scrambler
The Scrambler is a message server that is used to connect the work of
different artists. It broadcasts data from various sensors and other
inputs to anyone who wants to receive and decode the data stream.
The
visualizer is a simple Java Applet that monitors traffic through the
server.
Initially the data stream will broadcast messages from the
Scrambled_Bites artist in residence installations. As the project
develops, other artists will join the network leading up to a three day
data-jam for Art's Birthday in January 2004.
Artists can connect to the server using Norman Jaffe's TCP Client object
for cycling 74's Max programming
language, or use an ASCII protocol through Telnet, Java, or any other
programming language that supports TCP Client sockets.
