Week 2 - Tactile theater

We wanted to translate a piece of music into a tactile experience, in a very direct way. In our experiment, we tried to isolate different sounds into specific sensations. Rhythm is a very common concept in all cultures, and it is not only related to hearing. Visual structures can be seen as rhythm, and we tried to make a structure for touch that can be understood as a form of rhythm.
We used "star guitar" by Chemical Brothers (2003). Michel Gondry made a music video using visual rythm, with elements passing by a train window. This served as another reference to work from.
