Equally stimulating, yet vegetarian and far less deviant is the Peck controlled iTunes sound system
operated by lil' rooster LUCKY CLUCKY from the network connected coop on GORGIE CITY FARM

After many requests heres the chicken inspired playlist to view, and visit the WEBSITE to hear the
resulting cacophony of flutterings controlled by the feeding frenzy in realtime.

After three weeks of Farmyard antics, roosting with the chicks on Gorgie CITYFARM and NEWFUTURENOW front man JAYGO BLOOM and colleague IAN CAMPBELL up to the eyeballs with chicken fried ideas, we are please to announce the WORLDWIDEWEGG is now online !! offline / realtime / peckline you name it! networks connecting a hen coop on a city farm with an art gallery in Glasgow,

The WORLDWIDEWEGG is an online website and low budget breakfast bar presented as part of the ALT-W awards showcase throughout the month of August at the CCA gallery. Glasgow. Visitors to the gallery expect web enabled appliances, peck controlled iTunes and random Lucky Clucky tickets online, all controlled by the daily habits of a bunch of hungry hens.





Each time an egg gets laid a signal is sent to the web enabled toaster (via pd and arduino technology) this sets the coils in motion and returns the action of egg laying to the gallery goers as hot toast for consumption! Not only that, on the breakfast table is a peck controlled iTunes soundsystem, each peck on the piezo mic' attached to the chicken feed bowl causes the 'Cock Rock Disco' playlist to skip forward a track - perpetual flutterings of chicken inspired songs!

Online the same egg laying response generates a single random number, after six numbers are generated / six eggs are laid a lottery ticket is purchased online, therefore returning back to its source a percentage of funds recieved for this project! and hopefully making its creators millionaires! genius eh?!

We at NEWFUTURENOW like it anyhow, the project utilises all the same sophisticated technology as other more respectable sophisticated projects, it pushes the uses of these networks to the limits, with realtime biological actions governed by an equally random factor (the chickens), its a project, its a happening, an event and most importantly at the end of all this it manifests itself as something so spectacularly simple and commonplace (a slice of toast), people would ask why ever bother at all!

Visit the show throughout the month of August at the CCA gallery,
