A khipu is an artifact used in the ancient Inca Empire and previous Andean societies to process and transmit statistical and narrative information. It is known as one of the first textile computers, a tangible interface encrypted in knots and strings made of cotton and wool. This system was widely used until the Spanish colonization that banned and destroyed many of the existing khipus. This article presents the creation process of the Electronic_Khipu_, a new interface for musical expression. It takes the form of a MIDI controller, inspired by the original Incan device. The Khipu has been converted into an instrument for interaction and experimental sound generation by weaving knots with conductive rubber cords, thereby encoding musical compositions. The article goes on to document the implementation of the electronic instrument and evaluate its use in live performances. The research also explores the work of significant artists in this conceptual line who, from a decolonial perspective, have transformed and incorporated the khipu into different contemporary expressions of electronic sound art. These works, along with the practical example cited with the Electronic_Khipu_, suggest alternative practices of tangible live coding, computer music, and data sonification. Creative work with sound continues a legacy, almost lost in colonization, of the ancestral practice of weaving knots as code. In addition, some ideas will be presented to enhance the instrument's performance in the future.

Electronic_Khipu_:从祖先安第斯界面的实验声音中思考

奇普是古代印加帝国和以前的安第斯社会中用于处理和传输统计和叙述信息的人工制品。它被称为最早的纺织计算机之一,是一种用棉花和羊毛制成的绳结和绳子加密的有形界面。该系统被广泛使用,直到西班牙殖民时期禁止并摧毁了许多现有的奇普。本文介绍了一个新的音乐表现界面Electronic_Khipu_的创作过程。它采用 MIDI 控制器的形式,灵感来自原始的 Incan 设备。通过用导电橡胶绳编织结,Khipu 已被转换成一种用于交互和实验声音产生的乐器,从而对音乐作品进行编码。文章继续记录电子乐器的实施并评估其在现场表演中的使用。该研究还探讨了这一概念线中重要艺术家的作品,他们从非殖民主义的角度将奇普转化并融入了电子声音艺术的不同当代表达中。这些作品,连同 Electronic_Khipu_ 引用的实际例子,提出了有形现场编码、计算机音乐和数据声音化的替代实践。有声的创造性工作延续了几乎在殖民化中丢失的遗产,即编织结作为代码的祖先实践。此外,还将提出一些想法,以在未来提高仪器的性能。该研究还探讨了这一概念线中重要艺术家的作品,他们从非殖民主义的角度将奇普转化并融入了电子声音艺术的不同当代表达中。这些作品,连同 Electronic_Khipu_ 引用的实际例子,提出了有形现场编码、计算机音乐和数据声音化的替代实践。有声的创造性工作延续了几乎在殖民化中丢失的遗产,即编织结作为代码的祖先实践。此外,还将提出一些想法,以在未来提高仪器的性能。该研究还探讨了这一概念线中重要艺术家的作品,他们从非殖民主义的角度将奇普转化并融入了电子声音艺术的不同当代表达中。这些作品,连同 Electronic_Khipu_ 引用的实际例子,提出了有形现场编码、计算机音乐和数据声音化的替代实践。有声的创造性工作延续了几乎在殖民化中丢失的遗产,即编织结作为代码的祖先实践。此外,还将提出一些想法,以在未来提高仪器的性能。建议有形的现场编码、计算机音乐和数据声音化的替代做法。有声的创造性工作延续了几乎在殖民化中丢失的遗产,即编织结作为代码的祖先实践。此外,还将提出一些想法,以在未来提高仪器的性能。建议有形的现场编码、计算机音乐和数据声音化的替代做法。有声的创造性工作延续了几乎在殖民化中丢失的遗产,即编织结作为代码的祖先实践。此外,还将提出一些想法,以在未来提高仪器的性能。
