How does it work?

This enormous ear listens to all your frustrations and pet peeves. Hold your ikTag in front of the reader to start the installation. Once you've reached a certain amount of decibels, a camera and microphone will start recording your scream. When your scream starts to lose power, the recording will stop. The recorded clip is sent to a server and saved. Finally, all of the videos will be connected, creating a never ending scream. It's also possible to listen to a scream consisting of only those screams produced by your online contacts.

Developed during Dev Camp 2010 at Mediamatic Bank, Amsterdam.
