Physical Computing
It’s 2090, and intelligent technologies have advanced to a point where the practice of reading has become obsolete. Writing itself has become a forgotten memory of the past, while the only texts produced in the world remain illegible, mechanical scribblings made by machines.
Hidden Under
Kuu Alatalo
Physical Computing
Hidden Under is an interactive art installation prototype that explores how a simple instrument, a rainstick can serve as an interaction point. The installation uses transparent acrylic sheets as a type of interactive “storytelling” device.
