The AO2000 is a musical robot made up of various mundane objects and old 
computers to form an interactive sound machine. It uses audience location 
information to inform the automation sequence, making the music ever 
changing. This automation orchestra embraces the noise of our mechanized 
world and turns these mundane abject objects into instruments. Audience 
participation is key in creating a dynamic soundscape.
