I want to make analog music sheet for musical box using holes of worm-eaten.
Georg: Hiroki's project deals with the idea of biological traces - and how we can assign or interpret meaning into it. I like his choice of a bookworm (紙魚Simi), because it devours paper/text, processes it, and creates new arrangements. In Japanese, the word mushi (紙) is used for both insects, worms and bugs. Hiroki's biological trace fossils (Ichnology) are also reminiscent of the pattern in Punch Cards, which are early form of digital data storage. Their history goes back even further, as they were initially used to store textile patterns for the Jacquard Loom.
If you have bugs and digital data, the connection to a computer bug becomes obvious.
johan: as a physical presence it could be interesting to experiment with tape loops, during and after the insects are eating the paper, it becomes a paper forest, a music jungle
Keisuke: If the bugs could learn how to eat paper so as to make score sheets, they become composers?
Jan: Jan: here some inspiration https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6va6tg62qg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvUU8joBb1Q The idea of bringing the natural to "life" as sound is amazing, i am really interested to see how it will turn out. especially if the insects are left alone to do their own composing, might be more interesting as an artwork then to guide them or train them to producing something already composed, although both ways seem worth exploring!
