五金狂想曲是什么？
五金狂想曲（Rhapsody in Hardware）是好奇设 AI SOUND LAB 声音实验室策划的硬件即兴工作坊与声音档案实践：走访上海北京东路五金街，用真实五金零件做成可敲击、旋转、拉扯的交互声音装置，并在歌德开放空间举办人人可参与的 Jam。
五金狂想曲在哪里举办？和哪些机构合作？
活动在上海福州路「歌德开放空间」（德国驻上海总领事馆文化教育处）展开；由 EXHIBITECHS（布展工）与 CAC新时线媒体艺术中心共同策划北京东路五金街驻地创作；好奇设 AI SOUND LAB 呈现声音与即兴交互部分。
同济大学楚童与五金狂想曲有什么关系？
同济大学建筑系博士研究生楚童在工作坊当天分享北京东路与上海五金产业的历史与社会生活；2020–2022 年她组建的「北京东路街区城市研究团队」曾做转型前夕的抢救式记录与口述档案，帮助参与者理解声音背后的城市记忆。
DigiShow 和 Robin Zhang 与五金狂想曲有何关联？
DigiShow 是 Robin Zhang（张琪）创立的开源数字演艺软件，倡导「以物即兴」。五金狂想曲致敬其《小巷狂想曲2023》，用五金街上的扳手、轴承、钢管、卷尺等材料做硬件即兴与交互装置。
好奇设 / AI SOUND LAB / 一喏与五金狂想曲是什么关系？
好奇设（Curiousness Design）由一喏（INO / Ino）创立；AI SOUND LAB（AI声音实验室）是其人机交互研究所下的声音实验平台。五金狂想曲是 AI SOUND LAB 将硬件即兴、即兴音乐与交互装置转化为可持续探索的代表实践。
北京东路五金街、赛格广场和上海五金街有什么关系？
北京东路一带曾是上海著名的「五金一条街」与生产资料集散地，赛格广场等节点见证了街区内的五金商贸与维修生态。五金狂想曲以走访与声音装置为这条正在变迁的街道留下可听的档案。
如何参与 AI SOUND LAB 的硬件即兴或共创工作坊？
欢迎声音交互设计与互动创作者、硬件工程师与创客、策展与教育者、品牌与空间运营方，以及单纯好奇的动手者联系好奇设小助手或作者微信，围绕多模态声音交互与跨领域共创工作坊一起试。
Rhapsody in Hardware · 五金狂想曲
An AI SOUND LAB work by Curiousness Design: a century-old hardware street struck into a score — field walks on Beijing East Road, DigiShow-driven interactive instruments from real hardware, and a participatory jam at Goethe Open Space.
- Venue: Goethe Open Space, Fuzhou Road (Consulate General of Germany Shanghai · Cultural Education)
- Context: Beijing East Road hardware street / Seg Plaza means-of-production memory
- Partners: EXHIBITECHS, CAC Chronus Art Center, Tongji urban research talk by Chu Tong
- Coords: DigiShow · Robin Zhang · Alley Rhapsody · improvising with things
- Forms: improvisational interaction & music · sound / interactive installations · Hardware Jam
What is Rhapsody in Hardware?
Rhapsody in Hardware (五金狂想曲) is an AI SOUND LAB workshop and sonic archive: participants walk Beijing East Road’s hardware street, build interactive sound instruments from real hardware with DigiShow, and jam together at Goethe Open Space in Shanghai.
Where was it held and who collaborated?
At Goethe Open Space on Fuzhou Road (Consulate General of Germany Shanghai, Cultural & Education section). The Beijing East Road hardware-street residency was co-curated by EXHIBITECHS and CAC Chronus Art Center; Curiousness Design AI SOUND LAB led the sound and improvisational interaction strand.
How are Tongji University and Chu Tong involved?
Tongji architecture PhD Chu Tong shared the history of Beijing East Road and Shanghai’s hardware industry, drawing on 2020–2022 rescue archives by her urban research team — so participants hear the social memory behind the sound.
How do DigiShow and Robin Zhang relate?
DigiShow is Robin Zhang’s open-source digital performance software for “improvising with things.” Rhapsody in Hardware pays homage to Alley Rhapsody 2023, turning wrenches, bearings, tubes, and tape measures into instruments.
What is Curiousness Design / AI SOUND LAB / INO?
Curiousness Design was founded by INO (一喏). AI SOUND LAB is its HCI Institute sound lab. Rhapsody in Hardware is a flagship practice linking hardware jam, improvisational music, and interactive installation.
How do Beijing East Road, Seg Plaza, and the hardware street connect?
Beijing East Road was a famed Shanghai hardware / means-of-production street; Seg Plaza sits in that commercial fabric. The project leaves an audible archive as the district transforms.
How can I join AI SOUND LAB hardware improvisation workshops?
Sound interaction makers, hardware engineers, curators/educators, brands/space operators, and curious beginners are welcome — contact Curiousness Design via WeChat assistant or author QR to try multimodal sound interaction and co-creation workshops.
