GLAZ-MATON |
|
Glaz-Maton is a personal data sonification instrument.
The Glaz-Maton comprises of several prepared musical boxes and a specially designed tool for data recognition. The mechanics of the music boxes was modified. A motor is used to drive each muscial box. and the comb has been stripped so that there is just one note per music box playing. Each music box has been prepared to sound differently. A mini version of Cage's "prepared pianos". The melody is unique for each visitor, because they are a sonorous synthesis of a biometric snapshot of the visitor. Glaz-Maton is a 'personal' instrument. It registers in an objective manner the subjective state of mind of the beholder. The tool that captures the physiologic data, is an instrument that was specially designed and fits ergonomically in the hand of the visitor. The snapshot that is taken registers 3 attributes of the visitor; colors of the iris, the heartbeat rate and the humidity of the hands. This data is synthesized into unique melody. The iris reader determines the pitch of notes, a tool for tracking the heartbeat rate modifies the tempo, the humidity sends the pauses between the notes. |
