Interactive installation, sound 2018
Tactile Orchestra is an interactive installation composed of soft, furry surfaces that responds to touch, inviting viewers to discover orchestral sounds as they stroke and explore it. By engaging with the surface as an instrument, visitors can work together to create a symphony. The artwork was further developed into Kozie, a medical project for dementia and Alzheimer’s patients. Kozie was developed based on scientific data showing that sounds and music can revive fading memories and strengthen an individual’s ties to their immediate surroundings.
