Spreading Jam around the world

The network jamming project creates new instruments for collaborative media performance. Network Jamming allows people to play music and do video remixing together in a local setting or over the internet. The project explores ways to enhance learning and community by designing interactive creative activities based on collaborative and generative digital technologies.

Five new generative media software products have been developed using user led design principles that can increase access to real-time creative interaction for novice users such as children and people with disabilities. The project has developed a theory of meaningful engagement with music making and published 22 refereed publications. Trial sites are currently operating in the USA, UK, Hong Kong New Zealand and Europe. For further information please see: http://www.jam2jam.com/

The Network Jamming Team would like to thank ACID for its support over the past four years that has ensured the incredible success of this project. We thank the Apple University Consortium (AUC) for grant support and generous support for public trials over the past ten years. Sincere thanks to Greg Dodge and Ellaways Music and Creactives for advice and support for public trials. A huge thank you to the enthusiastic young people and innovative teachers and researchers around the world who have helped us develop jam2jam.
