Description:
“Rope & Pulley” is a kinetic sculpture and interface for performing audio. Fabricated from recycled cardboard and old computer parts, it was built with the idea that digital technology allows us the opportunity to endlessly remix and recycle audio. This is evident in both the building materials and in the interaction the piece affords. The rope and pulleys reference the look of an old reel-to-reel tape deck or a magnetic tape loop.
This interface is partly about the idea of looping music, a key to the production of most modern popular music, but also about the juxtaposition of the body motion with music playback and creation.
