Benin City 1400 Part 2

  • Topaz Arts 55-03 39th Avenue Woodside, NY, 11377 United States (map)

Another chance for a tactile engineering experience, exploring the soundscape of Benin City using Arduinos, microphones, speakers, and other sensors to create a reimagined auditory world. By using materials like Play-Doh and our bodies as conductors, each circuit will produce unique sounds based on the material completing it—creating an ethereal sonic experience. As we build these interactive sculptures, participants will develop an understanding of basic circuit principles. Participants will have the opportunity to experiment and modify their sound sculptures, encouraging trial, error, and discovery. There will also be an exhibit of the physical artifacts of previous participants who have made this journey into the past.
