AndOrDada
- And-Or (Switzerland)
andorDada is a road poem. You stroll through town and your immediate area generates a poem. You walk further through town or ride on a bus and the poem changes according to your location in town. andorDada is an endless poem; andorDada is adaptive locative Dada. It reads, writes out and interprets the subconscious social structure of a town. The andorDada software works as an adaptive poetry-tool with locative levels. Iit generates new scenes and environments in the traditions of the situationists. It captures wlan waves in the immediate area of the user and converts the wlan-waves into poetic objects. the wlan conversion uses a streamsearch algorithm which was also used in streamfishing, searchsongs and sniff_jazzbox. However the software not only manages to generate subjects and objects, as a crucial addition for the poetic value of the project it manages to create verbs from the captured hotspots. AndOrDada features three distinct modes: The first mode manages to create a story; the second mode generates a narrative with your friends which are being retrieved from the address book; and the third mode shows a lyric approach and creates an ever changing dadaistique poem.
The latest version of AndOrDada was developed for Android devices and can be downloaded from Google Play.
