Megatouch is a 6×1 meter touch surface where visitors can discover hundreds of sounds, rhythms and animations, all perfectly synchronized. It is a collaborative musical instrument and visualizer that requires no prior knowledge. The size and complexity opens for music exploration rather than music mastery. It is also a reflection on the fact that music is invisible. But with Megatouch, each sound and melody has its own abstract visual expression. Megatouch is created with Pure Data with 3 synchronised computers, 3 85" screens, 6 loudspeakers or 12 headphones.
Megatouch will be exhibited between 04/10 and 12/10.
