CybraphonInspired by early 19th century mechanical bands such as the nickelodeon, Cybraphon is an interactive version of a mechanical band in a box. Consisting of a series of robotic instruments housed in a large display case, Cybraphon behaves like a real band. Image conscious and emotional, the band’s performance is affected by online community opinion as it searches the web for reviews and comments about itself 24 hours a day. Cybraphon is funded by the Alt-w Production Award administered by New Media Scotland. In November 2009 Cybraphon won a Scottish BAFTA in the Best Interactive category. | ![]() Cybraphon installation view, De La Warr Pavilion, Bexhill, 2011 | ![]() Cybraphon - detail showing copper name plate | ![]() Cybraphon - detail of the emotion meter | ![]() Cybraphon - detail of the shrutti box and percussion | ![]() Cybraphon – detail showing 7" dub plate | ![]() Cybraphon - detail of the washboard | ![]() Cybraphon - detail of the emotion meter | ![]() Cybraphon - detail of wash board | ![]() Cybraphon - detail of the emotion meter |
