These videos demo Shado, “a futuristic, top-secret Monome compositing system in operation.”
Shado is an open-source compositing and sprite library for the Monome. It is written in Java, but designed to work seamlessly with a lightweight scripting language like Groovy or Python.
These videos highlight the fact that Monome’s strength isn’t it’s array of switches of lights, but the fact that it’s completely open to hacking.
Is it just me, or is that track in the top video just BEGGING for a remix?? 🙂
