10/1 Final Project Proposal

Furry swing chair sculpture  s e w i n g   i n   p r o g r e s s

A water drop shaped (approx. 6 feet) sculpture made with sewed fabric and faux fur fabric. The shape has a concave to provide a possibility for people to climb/sit inside it. Once inside, sensors would be triggered, the surrounding LED would light up and sounds would begin to play:

1. “ Relax. Take a deep breath. Feel the texture. Take a rest. Touch me. Do nothing. Just sit. Just look as it is.” approx. 10 seconds.
2. Sounds of baby crying (3-6 seconds). Recorded sounds from everyday life, such as neighbors chatting, piano from next-door, guitar from downstairs, trees from outside the window, wind blowing, sirens, airplane flying, trains passing from far away, rains dropping etc. Approx. 2 minutes.
3. Composed electrical music manipulated from everyday sounds (2 minutes) that is calm and therapeutic. Approx. 1.5-2.5 minutes. 

Total of approx. 3-4 minutes of remix music.

Possible (extended) version of the soft sculpture:

Version 1/ Threads are connected and expanded from the sculpture surrounding it that leads each thread to an object, each object would light up or play sound when a specific sensor is touched inside the sculpture.

Version 2/ Threads are connected from the sculpture to a furry object tied with conductive fabric to provide a possibility for people to touch it, once touched, the sculpture would light up with a different color.
