After coming up with dozens of ideas, many hours of mind-numbing consideration, and creator’s block; I’ve come up with my Networked Objects final project. Titled Bitchy Bags, I’m creating a small collection (not exactly sure how many but anywhere between 3 and 8 most likely) of bags (backpacks, purses, handbags, etc) that have individual personalities/characteristics that come out in sound clips based on their proximity and social relationship to the other bags in the network.
I’m working on what’s needed for the hardware right now, but here is a brief milestone calendar I’m working with:
April 9th: social group decided, parts ordered, starting preliminary testing, submit to Spring Show
April 16th: recording sound clips, getting two nodes to work with proximity
April 23rd: hardware working with 3 nodes and sound
April 30th: tweaking, production with bags, website and more branding for Bitchy Bags
May 7th: Final! Done!
That’s pretty cool. Have you heard of the Percussa AudioCubes? There’s a demo here:
