Bjork to the future...

Tech Video of the Week

As Bjork continues her world tour, many people have noted the very unusual instrument on stage that looks like a glass table with a number of glowing toys being pushed around.

It is, in fact, an amazing new instrument called the Reactable, that was developed by music engineers in Spain. Like Microsoft's Surface computer, it uses a table-top screen that reacts to touch. But it goes beyond that, turning the complex sound mixing board into an intuitive visual interface.

interesting... but it produces no noise I want to listen to for more than 2 seconds.

This looks like something you'd see in the Korova Milkbar from Clockwork Orange.

Viddy well, my Droogie.

Oh my virgin ears have been violated. This Dr. Seuss-like mystery contraption must be destroyed.

If this were marketed as a coffee table and the drink coasters were the interactive noisy bits maybe it would seem more practical . . . as it stands, I could never write this off as a business expense.

I like this - but what did Bjork make of it?

Shit! There's WYSIWYG editing on this blog?
