What is it:

A device with an interface similar to a video game console, and designed to use light and sound to create a new type of musical instrument. The 256 LRD lights, arranged so that there are 16 vertical lines in 16 horizontal rows, function as switches; they create patterns of light that allow the player to visually control the sound. This entry made a great impression, and was developed cooperatively with a company to create a marketable product.

Week 2 - Touched echo

Touched echo [Interactive] http://plaza.bunka.go.jp/english/festival/2008/art/001053/

What is it:

There are iron railings on a hill overlooking the city of Dresden. When you rest your elbows on the railings and place your hands over your ears, the sound of descending airplanes and exploding bombs can be heard through bone conduction. In 1945, in the last days of World War ll, U.S. and British forces carried out a random bombing raid over Dresden in eastern Germany. To cope with the sound of the air raid, the people of Dresden at that time covered their ears and bent their heads in the same way as the audience experiences this installation. This work hands down the city’s tragic memories.
