jewels

The jewels are versitile so they can be worn anywhere. The materials I used are: paper, tetrapak and color thread.

second assessment

This is the way I will exhibit the jewels in my studio window. I took some of the symbols of the milk carton bottom and I designed the set with them.

My intention is to play with sounds that the participants feel emotional about in a place they pass every day

This is the form that the possible participants had to fill in. It has information about their tastes and the sounds that they like or hate.

final song tracking

This is the exploration I did on socialization sounds. It is an idea of how the song could sound. However, it depends on the participants, their order and the way they enter the space. It goves an idea of how the sounds are joined one by one.

The socialization sounds of this song are: yawning, a spoon on a dish, rubbing hands (waiting for food), whispering, pourring a liquid in a cup and moving the nails on a table.

jewelry project (first approach)

This is a first approach to the jewelry project and its music. There are 4 speakers in the room. One in each corner. A kinect is on the ceiling sending images to the computer. The interaction place is limited on the floor with blue tape on the corners. There are 4 patterns. Each one is given to 4 participants. Each pattern is recognized as a sound.

My intention is to create a space of socialization wheere the participants have the role of making a song together. They do so by triggering sounds of accesories they wear

Objects that trigger sounds

RED DOT game - June 2011

This is a one person-game. The aim of it is to catch yellow coins (that randomly appear on the floor) and take them to the circle in the center of the game area. The player must do so without being touched by the a red dot that is chasing you.
1 coin = 1 point
1 red dot touch = -1 point

Program: MAX MSP.
Equipment: Beamer, kinekt, camera.

Sound tessellation - jewelry project

For this interactive project I am creating some jewelry pieces that can trigger sounds in a room as they are worn. The objects I am creating are made with recycled papers (event flyers and tetrapak). That's why I decided to work with some tessellation origami techniches. So far, this is the result of my research.
