Description
The ongoing trend towards electronic reading and the upcoming of e-reading devices inspired
me to take a step back and have a look at the possibilities the old-fashioned paper
book offers when combining its analogue character with electronics. As a prototype I built
a drawing book that connects to an Arduino Board and creates sound according to the
drawings people leave in the book.
The book contains out of six pages that include contact points which trigger sound output
when connected with a line. The sound changes according to the different lengths
and thicknesses of the pencil traces, and through time the book fills with different visual
traces that simultaneously create an individual sound output, that can be sequenced
by scrolling through the book or altered by adding drawings or removing streaks with an eraser.
