2 new generations of

interactive musicking “things”

(tangibles)

5 new hardware platforms

(iPhone/iPod,

RHYME mobile breakout card, sensors,LEDs)

RHYME wireless (Android, Google I/O ADK)

musicking

from Music as a work of art (object)

to Music as a meaning making and relation building

equal activity (verb)

play, listen, sing, dance, hum, move, rug, shake,

stroke, sleep, clapping, running, step...

It is about expressing ones identity in and with music

and music related activities in everyday situations

cross-media explorations

build cross-media consistent expectations over time

offer many ways of self-expression and cross-media interaction

Cross-media possibilities in Wave Carpet

so far...

limited smart textile

available possibilities

Current smart textile possibilities

(X-labs, Worbin, Diffus)

too slow

too fragile and

unsatisfactory surface qualities

current smart textile possibilities, Philips, Diffus

transparency and tactility
