iPhone application released for the INTO INFINITY project
Creative Commons Japan + Appliya Studio + DubLab + Creative Commons +
corde Japan, US, and worldwide — November 12th, 2009
Today, Creative Commons Japan and iPhone developer Appliya Studio
announced the release of a brand new iPhone application, “AudioVisual
Mixer for Into Infinity”, specially developed for the launch of the
Into Infinity project in Japan. Into Infinity is a collaboration
between Creative Commons and non-profit web radio collective Dublab.
Into Infinity comprises a collection of ready-to-remix 12-inch
circular artworks and 8-second music loops created by a vast array of
artists from around the world. Contributors include world-renowned
graffiti artist Kofie, 2008 Whitney Biennial alumni Lucky Dragons,
Anticon collective member Odd Nosdam, and electronic musicians Flying
Lotus and DNTEL (AKA Jimmy Tamborello of The Postal Service). For its
expansion to Japan, the Into Infinity project has additionally
collected 50 “EAR” sound loops and 50 “EYE” visual circles from
Japanese sound and visual artists (list below).
Creative Commons Japan teamed with APPLIYA on “AudioVisual Mixer for
Into Infinity” to celebrate the growth of this free audio visual
culture and to promote a more intuitive, open, and unique remix
experience around Into Infinity’s Japan launch. The application was
developed by Kensuke Sembo from internationally acclaimed media art
duo Exonemo and Ages5&Up, an art and design collective known for witty
yet solid interaction design.
When opened, the application connects to a server where all the
project’s resources are stored, automatically downloading sound loops
(”EAR”) that are paired with visual circles (”EYE”). The Into Infinity
logo serves as an anchor point to trigger sounds: circles are moved by
dragging them with your finger and when brought into the logo’s orbit
the sounds start mixing. Here, the act of remixing is enabled by a
simple touch interaction with the iPhone screen, allowing literally
anyone to enjoy mixing or simply listen to the soundscape.
Users can share their mix instantly by posting to Twitter or by
emailing their friends. An URL pointing to the mix generated is
attached to the message so others can reenact your experience. You can
also set the mix as your iPhone’s ring tone after downloading the mix
to your home computer.
All mixes generated by the application’s users are licensed under a
Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial license, keeping in line
with the project as a whole.

Japanese copyright law is received and reported to a related working
group of the Japan Agency for Cultural Affairs that most Web-aware
users are welcoming a more open culture on the Net.
