ABSTRACT
Klare Lanson interviews Golan Levin, who in 2001, developed and performed Dialtones at Ars Electronica. Dialtones is, up to this day, considered one of the first attempts to use mobile phones as interfaces for artmaking with a focus on sonic and visual patterning. Levin is an artist, composer, performer and engineer with an interest in new modes of reactive expression. He focusses on the design of systems for the creation, manipulation and performance of audiovisual works, as part of his interest in formal languages of interactivity and nonverbal communication in cybernetic systems. Levin presents a critical view of his early work and looks forward, contemplating future directions for the field.
