Adriana Paice used Feonic’s F4 audio drives to transform stitched canvas into a sounding board.<\/p>\n

Here is an overview of the project by Adriana …..<\/p>\n

I used the speakers to transform the blocked, stitched, canvas into a sounding board. I connected the speakers to a PCB (printed circuit board) that translated the resistance in the touch sensitive thread into a signal; so as people ran their fingertips over the contours of the silk embroidery, couched with conductive silver thread, they completed the circuit and triggered a fragment of poetry that played through the Feonic speaker attached to the rear of the stitched piece.<\/em><\/p>\n

For the motion sensitive pieces, again the speaker was attached to the back of the blocked canvas and connected to a pcb, which this time, took a signal from a PIR sensor embedded into the bottom of the frame. As people passed by their motion unlocked a piece of poetry that played though the speaker and resonated out of the canvas. <\/em><\/p>\n

With every new encounter, with either piece, the viewer unlocked a different fragment of poetry, some whispered, some spoken, by range of different voices (old and young; male and female), so the work continued to recompose itself.<\/em><\/p>\n

“In the context of the gallery all the different fragments echoed through the space and with multiple visitors, started to build up a rich soundscape of memories and ideas”. <\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
