MAI in the Market Lab at Sonar 2013

The MAI presents the research projects by its students on the Master’s degree in Advanced Interaction at Market Lab.

In specific terms, there are three pieces developed in collaboration with the Eindhoven University of Technology and ESDI: “Trailblazer” (designed so that jogging fans can discover special places in different cities while they are running), “Sound Embracers” (an instrument that generates sounds with the motion of the body) and “Open Up” (a special suit that connects the wearer with their surroundings). As well as these three works, the exhibits will include pieces about digital production and sound produced in workshops, and some of the students at the centre will be working on site on their final projects, showing the processes, experimentation and developments live.

So the work goes on. Before going to the big stuff it was important to do a little test. So I took a plastic container and hacked it. put two contact speakers below it and let the water vibrate on a frequency and see the effect. Here is the video.

Close to the Body. Final Presentation

admin — Mon, 20 May 2013 07:27:30 +0000

In collaboration with TU/e and ESDI we had the final presentation of the Close to the Body Research. Whith the work of the tutors Oscar Tomico (TU/e), Marina Castan(ESDi), Sietske Klooster, Eunjeong Jeon, Martijn ten Bhömer, Eva Deckers, Kristi Kuusk, Marina Toeters, Guillem Camprodón and Anastasia Pistofidou we have 4 pieces:

Open Up is a symbiotic outfit that creates an interaction between the host and it’s surrounding. It measures the displacement in a space and gives its wearer a new sense of the environment. Inspiration for this project came from studying animal behaviors and how they attract each other.

Illuminum While wearing the Illuminum garment you are going to experiment a new way of thrilling the audience. By reacting intuitively to the light you are able to surprise the audience with an elegant and unexpected performance. A new dance philosophy can evolve based on a garment that reacts to the absence of light.

Trailblazer Hey running enthusiast! You can’t take a holiday without getting a runner’s high do you? How about combining running with exploring amazing places? Let the Trailblazer guide you off the beaten track without getting lost.

Sound Embracers is a new instrument which links body movements directly to sound generation. The knitted collar with integrated stretch sensors and speakers is a surprising interface to create soundscapes.
