Week 03 | Final Project Proposal

Xinyi Peng

Idea I: Metaphor
#

Inspiration
#

*see the video at: https://www.are.na/block/3894857*

Simple Concept
#

The essence of “metaphor” is to use something familiar(A) to understand and express another abstract thing(B). In this project, our A can be the way people interact with paper: folding, pressing, blowing… I want to connect them with sounds and visuals, to create my own metaphor and my own tangible interface.

Fabrication Concept
#

a Pull-Down Resistor + Rasberry PI PICO

The pull-down resistor ensures the Arduino pin has a stable reading — LOW when open, HIGH when closed — making your paper-based switch reliable and responsive.

Idea II: Chromatic Gramophone
#

Inspiration
#

Simple Concept
#

I want to create music but the music making softwares like Abletion is complicated to learn, so I want to introduce a simple and physical way to make music. And I watched a very simple way of creating music, called loop. Then the motor and the shape of gramohone makes this a perfect physica way of creating loop. https://youtube.com/shorts/5h5m3fB_8ZE?si=OLcgfcQB7sZwaUNg

The Problem is….

After I came up with it, I then find two artists have something similar:

1.Cay Taylan: jamming with Orbita MIDI sequencer together with his daughter

2.Jesse Lucas: DYSKOGRAF
