Master´s Student from the DTU has designed three vibrotactile installation on the theme of the forest. The initial prototype was then redesign by a local artist: Kiral [Website].
- A giant 1-meter diameter plywood flower was created, with petals designed to vibrate at specific frequencies. At the center, a Clark Synthesis (Gold) shaker served as the ”ovary.” Students: Carolina Costa da Silva Gaudeoso and Justin Sabaté
- The ”Tree,” a structure for embracing, was created with a 2-meter tall metal rod and two shakers at 90-degree angles, vibrating the rod perpendicularly. The rod was adorned with 24 wooden panels connected with perpendicular metal bars, each resonating at different frequencies based on the rod’s mode of vibration. A 10ms delay was added between the two shakers to separate their vibrations. Students: Jonas Boldua and Giorgio Papadimitriou;
-A spiral installation was crafted using a CNC machine to cut the shape into a metal sheet. By suspending the center, a downward spiral effect was achieved. Inspired by the basilar membrane structure, the spiral features two-and-ahalf turns and gradually decreasing width, with a thicker section at the top resonating at low frequency and a thinner section at the bottom resonating at high frequency. Students: Mikkel Hermansen and Christian Svensson.
The display was presented first at the festival Distortion for kids, in Copenhagen 2022, at the Center for Contemporary Art Of Copenhagen.
