Le son au bout des doigts installation, Centre Pompidou

Le son au bout des doigts is an installation shown 1.6.–18.6. at the Centre Pompidou and part of Ircam’s Manifeste festival.

It offers a playful, interactive, sonorous and visual journey for children ages two and up. Through manipulations and listening, the children’s sight and hearing is solicited. In Topo-phonie Café imagined by B. MacFarlane, the children are guided by a game of organic structures. They set special tables that create sonorous suprises.

With DIRTI developed by User Studio/Matthieu Savary, when children sink their hands in different materials that fill interactive tubs they set off sounds and images.

For  Topo-Phonie café I developed a new interaction method with a table, based on gesture recognition technology by the ISMM team and contact interaction.

For the Dirty Tangible Interfaces (DIRTI), I ported the sound engine to a Linux SBC and adapted the Mac software for the quadrophonic DIRTI XL.
