Makey makey- the tool
I plan to design an abstract sculpture that can make sound when people touch it.
This means people can hear the sculpture even taste the sculpture. (use some edible materials)
I’ll use “makey makey” (the kit is based on research at MIT Media Lab), Alligator Clip two objects to the. For example, you and a banana. When you touch the banana, you make a connection, and MaKey MaKey sends the computer a keyboard message.
I could combine ceramic and tungsten to make objects with different texture, such as smooth surface or shape margin, or even some thorn. The tungsten and makey-makey tool will connect objects with computer , so that I can match specific sound with each specific touching sense. For audience, they might trigger a scream when they touch a smooth surface or trigger a nice voice when they touch the thorn. The sound and touch sense are not matched with their expectation.
