Tanmnn

Tanmnn is a multidisciplinary digital art project that emerged in the late 2010s as a collaborative platform for artists, programmers, and researchers. It focuses on the translation of live data into generative audio-visual works and interactive installations. The project operates as a rotating collective, with participants contributing code, sensors, and design concepts. The central idea is to explore how public input and online data streams can shape real-time media experiences.

The core system of tanmnn is an open-source, modular framework that ingests inputs such as user interactions, environmental sensors, and social-media signals, and maps them to audiovisual outputs. Projects are typically built around a central installation setting but can be adapted for gallery walls, public spaces, or online showcases. Works are often created collaboratively, combining algorithmic visuals, generative music, and immersive projection or display technologies.

Notable works and presentations include Tanmnn Field (2018) and Pulse of Tanmnn (2020), shown at contemporary art venues and digital festivals. The works emphasize participation, accessibility, and the co-creation of meaning between audience and artwork. Some installations include participatory interfaces that require minimal technical know-how, while others rely on more specialized setups.

Reception has been positive in discussions of networked and generation-based art, with emphasis on the experimental use of data as medium. Critics also note variability in audience experience depending on venue, hardware, and connectivity.
