EXPLORING SOFT INTERFACES FOR SONIC INTERACTIONS
.......
The art-led multidisciplinary research project Dung Dkar Cloak is an interactive installation that combines digital jacquard weaving, sound synthesis, fractal geometry and algorithmic thinking in order to unfold matter into the visual and sonic domain. The augmented textiles are hybrid and provide a rich multi-sensory experience: complex haptic interactions with the jacquard woven fractal patterns are sonified in real-time via soundscapes. The art installation was exhibited, during Sound Scene at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum in Washington D.C., US. People were invited to intuitively interact with the textiles, touch the fractal patterns and manipulate them to generate a live musical composition. The Dung Dkar series is developed at the Material Research Hub within Innovation Center of the Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design in Budapest, Hungary.
