Inspired by Nam June Paik, MyFi Studio created in real time (2024), a collection of custom electronic music instruments. Credited with originating the term “electronic superhighway” (1974), Nam June Paik went on to create artwork that positioned digital media as an artistic medium just as social networks expanded globally, making way for the current entanglements between humans and technology. Works like Paik’s Internet Dweller (1994) corresponded with the public launch of the World Wide Web.
To further perpetuate the potency of connectivity and collaboration that the internet provides, The Bass commissioned MyFi Studio to create 404 custom electronic music instruments, offering a new avenue for internet citizens to co-create new work as a collective. The Bass and MyFi Studio will retain an additional 25 instruments each for ongoing and future use by the public.
in real time is shaped by MyFi Studio’s electronic instrument building and improvisational performance practice. This collection of instruments is generated by code, written in p5.js and stored on Ethereum.
in real time exists on the networks and systems that Nam June Paik imagined.
