Clapping is the auditory equivalent of a group hug, a primordial and strangely exhilarating collective noise-making activity, which has recently brought closer together many city-dwellers in a collective hommage to healthcare systems around the world. But this time, we want to extend the participatory experience of clapping to the scale of a global community - both as an ongoing tribute to essential workers’ efforts and as a collective sound-making experiment - by allowing you to clap together with anyone in the world through your browser. This website will listen to your claps and repeat them to all online fellow clappers, providing a blank canvas for a global digital social experiment in rhythmical music making.
