以觸感替代視覺,以聲音探索的視覺藝術。
Touch over sight. Exploring visual art through sound.
《電紙樂器1.0》是一種專為視障人士設計的視聽觸感裝置,學生的繪畫作品轉化為可發聲的圖像,利用導電墨水變成觸控感應介面,通過觸摸激活聽覺信號。
科技(如編碼、焊接電路)對一些人來說可能令人畏懼,聽起來遙不可及,或實行上需要專業團隊和資源,但這個作品希望從學生熟悉的繪畫入手,向學生展示藝術創作如何融入科技的元素及科技是如何激發更多創作的靈感與創意。作品的部分繪畫利用導電油墨和導電膠帶,使部分畫面能感應人體(如手指)的觸碰。導電油墨是混合了導電顆粒(如碳、銀)的糊狀油墨,可以直接繪畫電路,將油漆接上正負極後就可通電。
DrawSound 1.0 is a audio-visual device designed specifically for people with visual impairments. Students’ artwork is transformed into interactive installation: conductive ink is used to create a touch-sensitive interface, so that when users touch the surface, it activates the corresponding audio signals.
For some people, technology (such as coding or soldering circuit boards) can feel intimidating, or in practice it may require professional teams and resources. However, this project starts from drawing, something students are already familiar with. It shows students how artistic creation can integrate elements of technology, and how technology can, in turn, spark more inspiration and creativity.
Part of the artwork uses conductive ink and conductive tape so that certain parts of the images can respond to touch by the body (for example, the fingertips). Conductive ink is a paste-like ink mixed with conductive particles (such as carbon or silver). It can be used to draw electrical circuits directly; once the painted lines are connected to the positive and negative terminals, the circuit can be powered.
由聲音、新媒體藝術家帶領學生學習不同 Software、Hardware的操作,將畫作變成電子樂器,學生使用導電的繪畫材料(如導電墨水和鉛筆)在紙上創作。隨後,學生可透過程式編碼生成觸控式畫作,從中學習到:
電子聲音創作平台 Ableton Learning Synths、Audacity和Arduino 軟硬件的運用;
繪畫互動介面:利用導電媒體(如conductive ink),創作出觸控式畫作;
結合以上技巧,創作出獨一無二的視覺+聲音藝術作品,並探索利用導電媒體創作共融藝術的可能性。
Guided by sound and new media artists, students learn to operate various software and hardware to transform artwork into electronic musical instruments. Students create on paper using conductive drawing materials (such as conductive ink and pencils). Subsequently, students can generate touch-sensitive artwork through physical computing:
* The use of the electronic sound creation platforms Ableton Learning Synths, Audacity, and Arduino hardware and software;
* Interactive drawing interface: creating touch-sensitive artwork using conductive media (such as conductive ink);
* Combining these techniques to create unique visual and sound art pieces and explore the possibilities of creating inclusive art using conductive media.
