Maker Faire 2007 in Photos

Maker Faire this weekend had plenty to offer fans of DIY musical gear, from Theremin karaoke performances to wild, home-built instruments from independent DIYers and academics. I spent most of the weekend tied to my booth, making music by scanning barcodes, manipulating a simple infrared sensor and touch sensor, and running live interactive visuals in Jitter. (The last turned out to be a huge hit with babies and their parents. Seriously.) But I did get out a bit; my impressions are documented on Flickr:

What’s your set up for the barcode music? I’ve always wanted to get one of the older Casio keyboards that has the barcode reader wands, but then I found out you can’t just scan the barcode on a cereal box with it. How are you doing it?
