floorsense

january 2002

Floorsense continues my interest to incorporate sculpture, installation, sound and dance performance. Like in my other works I used materials, color, sounds and interactions that lend themselves to playfull memories and experience informed by my developmental psychology research. On some basic levels my goal was to make a big musical instrument.

Each color has its own sound and moving across the color from one end to other changes the pitch. I also wanted to bring technology to a wide audience as well as providing participants an opportunity to create music.
