Whispers

Interactive Art Project 2006

Whispers from the Past was an interactive art installation created by myself and my teammate, Jonas Olson. Our intent was to produce an immersive, relaxing environment through a system of simple inputs and outputs, attached to a plain old wooden chair. We accomplished this by programming and utilizing the Arduino board, developed by Massimo Banzi and his team, which allowed us to hide all the required components under the seat of the chair. To activate the sound, a user simply needed to sit down, thereby adding weight to a pressure sensor. Watch the video to see it in action!
