Project Proposal

What do you want to make?

For my Graduation Project I want to use the well-known concept of Modular Synthesis. Instead of working with sound, I want to translate the idea to the realm of print publishing. More precisely, I want to create physical modules that perform operations on text and images to create printed outcome.

Modular Synthesis

A modular synthesizer is an electronic instrument that generates electronic sounds. It consists of many different and independent modules that can be combined in any numbers of ways to create and manipulate the output. Each module performs a certain operation which can be controlled by adjustable components like switches, sliders and patch cables. The output of one module can be used as the input for another module. This allows for creative combinations, loops and unexpected outcome. For my project I understand a module as a small unit that provides a specific operation as well as an operation-specific physical interface.
