For my interactive touch project, I had to choose an unappreciated truth that I wanted to reflect in the art piece. Something that came to my mind was how people take the music they listen to for granted, as some people don\u2019t think about what makes the song. Oftentimes I discuss a piece of music with others, they will tend to look at the song as a whole form of art and not pieces that come together to create such an experience. I want my art to display and appreciate each piece of a song, specifically 4 basic rock instruments (Guitar, Bass, Keyboard\/Secondary Guitar, and drums). The goal is to make people understand through experimentation of the piece to see how the instruments play off one another.
To control the 4 instruments, I needed to design an interface with at least 4 options. I decided to sketch out ideas for an interface before I started bringing the materials together. After some brainstorming, I used cardboard and tin foil to see if my idea was feasible. I designed a lever to control an alligator pins connection to grounding. So far it seems to be holding together and the mechanism worked so I move on to the left side of the box. Here I created an interface where you use a tin foil pen like a touchpad on 4 pieces of tin foil.
My plan with the interface is to control which instruments are actively playing in the music. The user decides which instruments are active versus inactive, and they will hear how the instruments relate to one another and how a missing instrument can largely impact a song. I haven\u2019t considered visuals yet, but I am considering splitting the instruments up into separate abstract shapes that are moving\/displayed if the instrument is active.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think that the idea will bring across the idea I want, but I was wondering how I could improve the controlled interface? What other forms of input can I make for the project?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
