The visual artist @doradynamicdesign (Dora Motèque) and I are collaborating on an extraordinary project that merges art and technology in a truly unique way.
The shapes in these paintings are inspired by Persian characters and musical notes, creating a visual language that is both poetic and meaningful. What sets this project apart is its interactivity: the paintings are equipped with sensors that respond to touch. Yes, you heard it right, when you touch the artwork, it produces sound!
This innovative approach transforms the traditional experience of a painting. Instead of passively observing the artwork, you become an active participant, performing with it to create a harmonious fusion of visual and auditory art. It's an entirely new way to engage with and experience art!
Check out our YouTube playlist for captivating videos that showcase the Sounding Canvas in action and discover how touch brings these works of art to life.
The following picture shows the second canvas of the series, on the artist's webpage you can find higher quality photos and descriptions.
My duty here is to reveal the "Behind the Scenes" of this kind of artwork, let's start !.
The hack is in the back !
In the next picture you can see how the sensors are cabled and fixed to the canvas, they are made using resistors and aluminum foil.
Then a wooden cover has been mounted upon to host loudspeakers and boards.
