Packets is a collaboration between Aymeric Mansoux, Tom Schouten and Marloes de Valk. The aim of the project is to provide tools, guidelines and food for thought in the fields of real-time media processing. To this end we are creating open and integrated software, hardware and documentation. These evolving tools are tuned for, but not limited to, audiovisual performances, installations, visualisation systems... Packets attempts to provide an artistic approach to software development and possibly a new way of defining your own creative tools and eventually your own language. The main idea behind packets is in the name: digital art = throwing around data packets. Our approach is extreme modularity: combining small, simple pieces of hardware and software to create more complex, emerging objects. (2006-...)
