The Philharmonic Orchestra of Hamburg (Philharmoniker Hamburg) merged city and orchestra into one musical experience with Sounds of Hamburg, a web application recognised with a Gold Cyber Lion at Cannes International Advertising Festival 2010. Digital cameras were used to transform the city of Hamburg into a concert hall with online users taking the role of conductor. Custom tailored motion tracking made it possible for users to select moving objects from a live video feed. People, ships, cars and even fish become instruments in a spontaneous concert. Venues include The RauthausMarkt, The Landing Bridges on Hamburg Harbour, The Beatles Platz, and a tropical aquarium.
