Computer program turns Interstate 101 traffic into music
Original: 'The 101 Plays Itself': This computer program treats the interstate into music
A computer program converts activity along the 101 interstate into music, in a project called 'The 101 Plays Itself'. The program treats the highway as a source of sound, generating a musical piece from the road's data. The idea of translating infrastructure and traffic into art is drawing attention for its unusual blend of technology, urban life and music.
Why now: The novel concept of turning a major highway into generative music is an unusual, shareable art-technology story.
