PandoraBird will answer - Birds Classical School
There should not be anyone who does not love singing birds. If so, how about the reverse? What do birds think of the music played by humans?
Elizabeth Demaray, a sculptor and media artist living in New York who has made such a rustic but bold question as an art. The bird's eating platform "Pandora-Bird", which she collaborated with Ahmed Elgammal of The Art and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Rutgers University, is getting reluctant.
Pandora Bird is a normal seasonal food table as shown in the picture above. There are plenty of millets that the little birds like in the blue dish, and it has a nice blue roof. Below the transparent dome-shaped plastic cover that covers the top ... there is some kind of machine attached. This, palm size of the PC, it is raspberry pie. Furthermore, although not visible in the picture, camera and audio speaker are also installed inside the blue roof.
According to Demaray's website, this bait table is for the bird -made to the jukebox in, by the Python script that processes/controlled by a raspberry pie, birds prefer music the automatic regeneration is unlikely. Automated music recommendation service, is incorporated API - Pandora Internet Radio.
The mechanism is simple. The built-in camera copies the birds that flew onto the food table and records the length and of stay. If the bird stayed until the end of the song, it will automatically play songs that are similar in melody, harmony, rhythm, form, composition, etc. The bird is on the food stand in once came "Likes", the song that used to take at that time played frequently to reflect things to be. It is this Pandora Bird which was also exhibited in Philadelphia, New York, Hong Kong, but what was the result?
First of all, please see Pandora Bird playing Debussy's famous song "Phantom of the Moon" to Philadelphia's little birds.
Like the healing system CD, the melody of the piano and the chirping of the birds match perfectly. Birds are gathering more and more.
