Cohort

Cohort is a code framework that helps artists and activists use smartphones to run interesting events for groups of people. The project is administered by adelheid dance projects.


Introducing Cohort

Leverage the Flexibility of Cohort

Cohort allows you to control synchronized events across mutiple phones or tablets.
As an example, consider a silent disco: here's what Cohort can offer in comparison.

Venue and Site Freedom

You have the freedom to include participants situated literally anywhere in the world. Cohort allows you to broadcast over the internet rather than through radio frequencies.

  • Create site-specific work in large or outdoor sites.
  • Useful for adjusting your event to social distancing.
  • Use for creation periods or rehearsal when your collaborators can't be in the same room.

Control From Your Phone Or Tablet

No extra hardware required, run your show and control the experience directly from your own phone or tablet.

Groupings

You have the ability to dynamically segment/group your participants.

  • You can assign groups, or allow particpants to choose groups.
  • Create as many groups as you need.
  • You have control over what each participant hears.

And Add Visuals:

Take the experience to the next level and cue video or text to display on your participants' phones or tablets as easily as audio.
