traceroute
2023traceroute is one of three experimental podcasts hosted on lambdat3.live developed by our class in the second year of our studies at Design Art Technology (ArtEZ Arnhem).
In short, Traceroute is a computer network tool that shows the path data takes from your device to a website or server.
Upon listening, you embark on a journey that sonifies the process from the moment someone presses enter after inputting a web address in the address bar of a browser up until the moment that address (website) shows up on the screen. To be more specific, the sonified journey is actually from the address of this podcast's website lambdat3.live.
traceroute is a joined project together with Isaac van den Aker and Kaan Orkan Piskin that developed naturally. We went on some nice field trips to track down the locations of the data centers from our journey and recorded our assets with the help of some field recorders. The website where the podcasts reside is also a joined project, made together with Robin Opheij.
