Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach for mediating awareness in small intimate groups. Instead of traditional communication media, music is used to inform users about the presence and mood of multiple remote peers. Based on this conceptual idea, an awareness system called 'Social Radio' was developed. The system consists of several smart artifacts and an underlying multi-user communication infrastructure.
