RUSE is a participatory art experience that transforms an electronic music concert into a creative and democratic process in which the audience is invested with an active role. During a live music performance, the audience can use their smartphones or computers to express their opinions about what they are hearing. The musician then can adapt their performance by observing their feedback in real time on a dedicated screen.
RUSE in practice during a studio session: the RUSE application opened on smartphones and laptops (right) and the musician performing while observing the real-time audience aggregate feedback (left).
