Adad Hannah and Niklas Roy
Montreal based video artist Adad Hannah and Berlin based machine artist Niklas Roy met each other for the first time in Wroclaw, Poland in 2005, where they decided over a beer to build this machine together. After quite a time of planning and discussing the project's details, Roy prepared the hardware parts and the machine's software in his workshop in Berlin, while Hannah organized the funding for the project. In October 2007, both met again in Hannah's studio in Montreal to assemble the device within one month.

David Cheong aka Baddd Spellah joined them both in late 2007 to produce the generative music which booms out of the IDP.

About the machine
The interactive machine International Dance Party is a complete plug 'n' play party in a box. The machine comes as a large, non-suspicious looking flightcase. Internally, it is equipped with cutting edge radar sensing technology, an ear blasting state of the art 600W sound system, tons of psychedelic light and laser effects, and even a professional grade fog machine.
