Reclined under the fulldome in a hemispheric gestalt, participants in Jazz Reclined under the fulldome in a hemispheric gestalt, participants in Jazz Luminaries create an experience of their own that unfolds the social network of more than 5,400 musicians whose recordings make up a portion of the Montreux Jazz Archive containing over 18,000 performers. The installation transforms this UNESCO Memory of the World collection, digitized at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), into an interactive experience of aesthetic transcription. Through a unique multimodal interface Jazz Luminaries allows viewers to cut, remix and replay over 13,000 videos of songs by those five thousand jazz greats from a total archive of 11,000 hours of video.
