Inspiration
Exploration of relationship between time and space.
Its two-layered structure creates interlocking visual effects as well as unique sound textures when rotated. Reverie is an artistic expression of the relationship between time and space.
Background Research
“Art that depends on motion for its effects."
The concept of kinetic in sound art focuses on the automatic movements that produce sound
Technology Research
RFID: store music info
Radio Frequency Identification, a technology for digital data encoding in RFID tags or smart labels and capturing by a reader via radio waves.
Technology Layout
Communication Interactions
Illustrates the relationship between the RFID tag, joy stick, max msp data processing and the design of music in Ableton.
Informational Communication Design
Illustrates how musical information is exchanged between each software for the musical playback
Physical Making Process
First Prototype
White tags are the rfids that have music signals embedded in it. When the sensor move on top of each rfid, the sensor will capture the information and send to computer for sound output.
