“This is a scarf I knitted based on a sample of the The Amen Break. I took an image of the waveform of the amen break and converted it into a knitting pattern, which I uploaded onto a hacked knitting machine.

Tessel by D.Letelier (Kangding Ray) and LAb[au] is a kinetic sound installation investigating the perception of sound and space.
“The installation is constituted of a suspended and articulated topography of 4 x 2 m, subdivided into forty triangular mirrors. Twelve triangles are fitted with motors and eight triangles are equipped with audio transducers, which transform the surface into a dynamic sonic space. A dialogue between space and sound is created as the surface slowly modifies its shape, our perception of it altered through continuously changing light and sound reflection.”
