[edit] About the hack

The idea is transform the tweets containing HT #sonar2012 into sounds (or noise) in real time. It's a 100% Open Source Hardware ( http://freedomdefined.org/OSHW ) project: an Arduino (with Ethernet Shield) gets the tweets from Twitter, converts them into MIDI Notes and MIDI Control Messages and sends them (via MIDI Shield) to MeeBlip synthesizer. So no computer is needed.
