English abstract:
In this paper, we describe TRATTI, an art piece that can clearly be characterized as Device Art. It is a funnel shaped bullhorn to be worn in front of the belly. Children can walk around with the TRATTI. First, they record their voice into the device. Then, they can point the TRATTI anywhere they want. The TRATTI constantly snaps images from its surroundings and plays back the recorded voice samples manipulated through the image, through the environment. TRATTI is technologically based on mobile phone technology and it reflects a number of key features of mobile phone technology. TRATTI is a loud and disturbing piece of real-time art, a very personal musical instrument playing the voice of the musician, according to her standpoint in the world.
