Noisy Jelly

Noisy Jelly

eKsperience by

R. Pluvinage & M. Cauvard

Noisy Jelly

Noisy jelly is a game where the player has to cook and shape his own musical material, based on coloured jelly.

With this noisy chemistry lab, the gamer will create his own jelly with water and a few grams of agar agar powder. After added different color, the mix is then pour in the molds. 10 min later, the jelly shape can then be placed on the game board, and by touching the shape, the gamer will activate different sounds. 

Technically, the game board is a capacitive sensor, and the variations of the shape and their salt concentration, the distance and the strength of the finger contact are detected and transform into an audio signal. Note : This project is a fully working prototype made with Arduino and Max/Msp, there are absolut no sound editing in the video...

About Noisy Jelly

Noisy Jelly est un jeu qui propose mettre en forme sa propre matière musicale à base de gelée colorée éphémère. Avec ce petit kit du chimiste électronique, le joueur créé sa propre gelée et verse le mélange dans les moules. Les formes peuvent être démoulées et placées sur le plateau de jeu. En les touchant, le joueur active différents sons et plonge dans un stimulant chamboulement perceptif.

Techniquement, le plateau de jeu est un capteur capacitif. Ainsi la variation de la forme, sa concentration en sel, la distance et la pression du toucher sont détectés par le capteur et traduit en un signal audio. Cet objet démontre que l’électronique peut avoir une nouvelle esthétique, être envisagée comme une matière plastique à manipuler et expérimenter.
